Is there a new twist or what? As there has been some confusion in the air and eyebrows are raised as both Bihar chief minister and JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar and his rival and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav decided to reach Delhi on the same charter aircraft for their respective meetings.

As after yesterday's result, it is clear that BJP has failed to make absolute majority, NDA and INDIA partners will be holding key meetings today as they try to cobble together numbers required to form the government.

Leaders of both NDA and INDIA alliances are flying to Delhi to hold discussions on the way forward. Interestingly, Nitish Kumar, known for his record of political flip-flops, was on the same flight as INDIA ally and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as they fly to Delhi to attend separate meetings. Interestingly, one set of visuals showed Mr Yadav sitting right behind Mr Kumar. And then, another visual showed the RJD leader next to the JDU chief, sparking a buzz.

Nitish Kumar's close aide and JDU leader KC Tyagi told news agency ANI yesterday that the party will stay in NDA and rejected any speculation of a switch to INDIA bloc. The other kingmaker, Mr Naidu, congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on NDA's stunning show in Andhra Pradesh and said TDP and BJP will rebuild the state together.

What must, however, be kept in mind that both these leaders have been strongly critical of Prime Minister Modi and the BJP in the past. In fact, Nitish Kumar led the discussions for forging an Opposition front to take on the BJP before his last-minute switch.
