Nitish Kumar rejects Mulayam's request to attend SP's silver jubilee function

Patna, Nov 4 (TheBiharPost/IBNS): Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar still looks "suspicious" about the motive of SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and has decided not to attend his party's silver jubilee function.

Yadav personally called up Kumar on Thursday evening requesting him to grace SP’s silver jubilee function to be organized in Lucknow on Saturday but the latter has refused his request, reports said on Friday.

Although the party cites “Chhath puja” celebrations as Kumar’s failures to attend the SP function, informed sources say Bihar CM is still to fully trust Yadav.

In his absence, Sharad Yadav will be representing the JD-U at the SP function—an attempt being seen as a rapprochement between the SP and the JD-U after initial wars of words.

Kumar fell out with Yadav after the SP chief abruptly walked out of the alliance and fielded candidates against the Grand Alliance in the Bihar assembly elections held last year although failing miserably to cause any damage to the state’s ruling alliance.
