Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejaswi Yadav are traveling to states to convince the leaders of opposition parties to come together to oust BJP from power, a source says. Nitish Kumar and Tejaswi Yadav have already met Mamta Banerjee, Kejriwal, and Akhilesh Yadav separately source says. Nitish Kumar and Tejaswi Yadav also met the congress president Khadge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi source says. In the meeting, it has been decided that Nitish Kumar will contact the party and leaders not maintain very cordial relations to bring them together and Khadge to meet with like-minded leaders source says.
