Senior Janata Dal-United leader Nitish Kumar arrived in New Delhi on Tuesday evening with lawmakers of his party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Congress, Communist Party of India and an Independent, intending to parade them before President Pranab Mukherjee at the Rashtrapati Bhawan in a show of majority support to form a government.

"It is more than 24 hours and no decision has come from the Bihar governor in regard to our claim to form the government. The majority is in our favour and we will request the President of India about it. We will take our MLAs to him around 2.15 pm tomorrow (Wednesday)," Nitish told reporters at the Patna airport.

Kumar, who ruled the state as the chief minister from 2005 to mid-2014 and was again elected the leader of JD-U legislature party on Monday, said the delay on part of Governor Keshri Nath Tripathi vitiates the atmosphere and promotes horse-trading.
