The BJP has sent mixed signals to its ally JDU on continuing the alliance but rules out keeping Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Varun Gandhi away from the election campaign in Bihar. Party sources said that the reason behind Nitish Kumar returning five crore rupees of flood relief fund to Gujarat is still unknown to it.<br/> <br/> Sources said that JDU’s behaviour has hurt the feelings of the party. Top party sources said that the two issues dominated the meeting between BJP President Nitin Gadkari and Core Group of the party's Bihar unit on Tuesday night. Though both the Central and the state leaders are in favour of continuing the alliance, they do not want to be seen as compromising on their self-respect. <br/> Echoing similar sentiments, BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said that the party wants to continue with the coalition for the development of Bihar but will not compromise on self-respect. Senior Party leader Venkiah Naidu also raised the issue of Mr. Kumar returning the flood relief fund to Gujarat after an advertisement appeared in local newspapers of Patna thanking Mr. Modi for the help. He stated that the money belonged to the people of Gujarat and was given to Bihar for flood relief. Mr. Naidu said, all reports of conditions being put by JDU for continuing with the alliance are media speculation played up unnecessarily.<br/> Earlier, JDU leadership has expressed its reservation over the participation of Gujarat Chief Minister Narender Modi and young BJP leader Varun Gandhi in the campaigning for the forthcoming assembly elections in Bihar.<br/>
