Political stir in Bihar is intensifying, the suspense remains whether the BJP-JDU alliance will survive or break in the state. JDU has called a meeting of its leaders (MLAs and MPs) today regarding the NDA alliance in Bihar. This meeting is to be held from 11 am. MPs and MLAs have started arriving for this meeting to be held at the CM residence in Patna.
