In Bihar, after the resignation of chief minister Nitish Kuamr, Janta Dal United MLAs will meet in Patna this evening to choose their leader. AIR Patna correspondent reports, before the JDU legislative members meeting, senior party leaders, legislators and workers are visiting Nitish Kumar’s residence since early morning to persuade him to rethink on his decision. Speculation is also there that JD(U) MLAs may re-elect Nitish Kumar as the leader of legislative assembly.

However, a section of party leaders not happy with the Nitish Kumar decision of snapping ties with the BJP last year, are unlikely to support him again. Meanwhile, JD(U) Natioanl President Sharad Yadav has arrived in Patna and is holding talks with senior party leaders.
