Bihar CM Nitish Kumar reaches Kejriwal's residence amid ‘Opposition Jodo’ mission

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar reached the residence of his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday to hold a meeting with him. It is likely that the opposition leaders will discuss the issue of the Centre's NCCSA ordinance during their tete-a-tete.

The meeting, between the Janata Dal United (JDU) leader and the Aam Admi Party (AAP) leader, is likely to start at 11:30 am at Kejriwal's residence on Flag Staff road in Delhi.

The meeting is scheduled just a day after Kejriwal said he would reach out to the opposition parties over the Centre’s National Capital Civil Service Authority (NCCSA) ordinance. It is likely that he will discuss the same with Nitish Kumar during the meeting, sources said. The Delhi government has deemed the ordinance "blissfully ignorant of the law".

Last week, former Maharashtra minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray also met Kejriwal at his residence in the national capital. The latter took to Twitter to share a photo of the meeting, stating that the two had a conversation about the "current political developments" in the country.

The move comes as speculation of the major national opposition parties forming a coalition against the BJP for next year's elections are rife.

The leaders of the JD(U) and AAP -- two of the prime opposition parties in the country -- had also met last month along with Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav. Nitish had also given a statement in support of his Delhi counterpart over the CBI summons issued to the latter during a press conference last month.
