Sources privy to the JD(U) meeting called today said Bihar CM Nitish Kumar lashed out at the BJP in front of party MPs and MLAs. He said the BJP had always insulted JD(U) leaders and tried to weaken the party.

This comes even as it was confirmed that the JD(U) split from BJP on Tuesday.

A meeting of all MLAs and MPs of JD(U) was held on Tuesday at the chief minister's residence.
