JD(U) leader and Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar has taken a move in breaking ties with former ally BJP, which has been received as a sign of revolt against the ruling party. Opposition ministers are patting Nitish’s back for the deed, including Samajwadi Party’s Akhilesh Yadav commenting “BJP bhagaao” slogans in Bihar to soon encourage other states, Congress’ Jairam Ramesh snarking “What goes up must come down”, and CPI’s Sitaram Yechury claiming “BJP got a taste of their own medicine”. BJP was bashed after it’s actions in Maharashtra.
