Nitish Kumar meets Amit Shah ahead of 'honourable' pact for 2019 in Bihar

September 19, 2018 21:18

As negotiations for seat sharing in Bihar for next years general elections enter the last lap, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar called on BJP boss Amit Shah on Wednesday and is learnt to have discussed, what he has already prophesised, would be as an honourable seat-sharing arrangement.

Nitish Kumar, who is in the national capital for some routine medical tests at the All India Institute for Medical Sciences, had a quiet meeting with Amit Shah at his residence.

It was quite a sharp contrast to their last set of widely-publicised meetings in Patna, over breakfast and dinner, which were designed to convey that there was no rift between the alliance partners.

Wednesdays meeting, being described as a courtesy call by BJP leaders, comes days after Janata Dal-United chief Nitish Kumar announced that the seat-sharing arrangement would be finalised in just more few days.
