Government, BJP today said the central leadership will meet
tomorrow to discuss the political developments in the state.
"BJP Central leadership is keeping an eye on the
political situation in Bihar. Our party president and other
senior leaders are not in the capital. They will be here
tomorrow and we will discuss the issue," BJP spokesperson
Shahnawaz Hussain said.
With BJP President Nitin Gadkari expected to reach the
capital today, a meeting of the party top brass is likely to
be held tomorrow.
Hussain said Gadkari would be apprised of the
developments in Bihar, including the return of Rs five core of
flood money that was given to the state for Kosi flood relief

When asked if BJP had any plans of going it alone in
the forthcoming Bihar elections in October, Hussain said there
had been no such discussion in the party on the issue till
now.
