JD(U) chief says successor to Nitish to be chosen tomorrow

“There is no rebellion. If there is any rebel why doesn't he go to the Governor? who is stopping them?,” he shot back.

Commenting on the election results, Yadav said, “The kind of mandate that has come has posed a challenge to us. We will effectively deal with it. We will rally non-BJP people around.”

When asked if the non-BJP ‘secular alliance' meant that the hatchet with Lalu would be buried, he said, “The question is about the country. So if there are old differences, they do not pose a problem.

“All of them (differences) will be over and the battle will begin from there. Bihar is the place from where most agitations and new paths emerge. There are all kind of secular people and all will participate in that,” he said.

Yadav, however, declined to dwell in details over any such alliance, saying timing is of great importance in politics.
