Varanasi, May 1 (IBNS): Nitish Kumar led Janata Dal-United (JD-U) on Thursday announced that it will support Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.

The party said it will oppose Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP)'s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, who is pitted against Kejriwal in Varanasi.

"The JDU has decided that we will oppose Narendra Modi...The JDU has decided that we will support Arvind Kejriwal. The party has invited its senior leaders for the elections there. The AAP has agreed and Sharad Yadav has accepted. We are waiting for Nitishji's acceptance," said JDU leader KC Tyagi.

The JD(U) had severed its ties with the BJP, ending a 17-year-old alliance, over the projection of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the PM candidate for National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
