Fear of PM Modi compelled Nitish to meet Kejriwal: BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday alleged that fear of Prime Minister Narendra Modi compelled Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to meet his Delhi counterpart and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal.

"Nitish Kumar is going to meet Arvind Kejriwal with the luggage of 2G, CWG and Lalu ji. He (Nitish) is so much threatened by (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi that he is ready to meet anybody. It's good, he should meet. So, what is the problem if Sonia ji, Lalu ji, Kejriwal ji and Nitish ji want to work together?" BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain told ANI here.

Nitish and Kejriwal will seek each other's company today for the fourth time in the last two months.

Nitish, who is running for a third term in Bihar, has sought Kejriwal's support although the Aam Aadmi Party supremo has said he will not put up any candidates in Bihar.

Nitish had come to Delhi to attend Monday's Iftar party hosted by Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, with whom he has allied along with RJD boss Lalu Prasad Yadav.
