National Democratic Alliance convener Sharad Yadav is annoyed with the repeated tussle between Janata Dal (United) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members in Bihar on whether or not Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi be invited to the state. Soon after BJP state president C P Thakur said Modi would be invited, JD(U) leader Shivanand Tiwari was asked to tell Thakur that he must avoid statements that could create a rift between the alliance partners.
