Patna:
Janata Dal-United general secretary KC Tyagi on Tuesday hinted that the days of the ruling grand alliance in Bihar may be numbered and said the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was much more comfortable when the party was in NDA.

The reaction came after News18 reported that Kumar is readying to snap ties with Lalu Prasad Yadav.

He said that JD-U was not part of the UPA and Congress and endorsed it by saying that Mahagathbandhan was meant only for Bihar.

So, its clear that my party is free to take any decision on national level, he said. He also warned alliance partner RJD and Congress to desist from criticising Nitish as his party wont tolerate it.

The fate of the grand alliance became uncertain after Kumar announced that the JD-U would support NDA candidate Ramnath Kovind in the Presidential elections.
