Campaigning schedule doesn't matter, our RJD-JDU alliance does: Nitish Kumar

Former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar today said the campaigning schedule of the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Janata Dal United does not matter to him, and added that what was important is that both parties are contesting together.

"The program and schedule of the campaigning does not matter. You will get to know that when time comes. The important thing is that we're contesting together," said Kumar.

JD (U), RJD and Congress have reached an understanding to contest 10 Assembly seats in Bihar, going to bypoll on August 21, together and officially announced entering into alliance on Wednesday.

Both the parties have drawn a lot of criticism from other political parties as prior to this alliance; the RJD and JDU had been in a constant conflict with each other.

The bye poll on 10 Bihar seats necessitated by the election of some MLAs to the Lok Sabha and resignation of others is being viewed as the "semi-final" before the crucial Assembly poll, due next year.
