Nitish Kumar's Surprise Meeting with Amit Shah: A Political Gesture

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar surprised many by meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah at a Patna hotel. This unexpected rendezvous occurred as Shah coordinated BJP's strategies for the upcoming state assembly elections.

Both leaders shared photographs on their social media platforms showing Kumar presenting Shah with a bouquet of flowers. Though neither party provided official comments, sources described the encounter as a 'courtesy call'.

The meeting follows media speculation about Kumar avoiding BJP leadership. Nitish Kumar, aiming for a fifth term, recently assured Prime Minister Narendra Modi of his allegiance to the NDA, distancing himself from previous Congress-RJD alliances.
