Congress non-committal on its alliance with RJD in next Bihar assembly elections

Patna, Mar 23 (UNI) Congress on Sunday kept cards closed to its chest on the issue of alliance with RJD in the next Bihar assembly elections, saying a decision about it would be taken and communicated to all at an appropriate time.
Congress Media and Publicity Chairman Pawan Khera told media persons here that the decision on alliance with RJD would be taken at an appropriate moment and communicated to all. It was not necessarily to reply to the question on alliance and the media would also be informed about it at an opportune moment, he added.
Khera said that he was concerned about the deteriorating health conditions of Chief Minister Kumar. The health condition of Bihar was more important than that of Chief Minister Kumar, he stressed.
Congress leader said that as per the CAG report, medicines were not available in government hospitals of Bihar. Similarly, there was a vast shortage of doctors, nurses, and other para-medical staff in government hospitals, making it difficult for patients to get treatment, he added.
" Chief Minister Kumar was in fine health when he was with Grand Alliance but after joining hands with BJP again last year, his health conditions deteriorated ", Khera pointed out. No one had seen Nitish behaving this way as being done by him presently when he was part of Grand Alliance in Bihar, he remarked. He parried the question of whether his party would like Nitish to return to its fold again, saying a reply to such questions could be given later.
Congress and RJD have been contesting Lok Sabha and Assembly elections for long barring few occasions but the party appears to be in no mood to announce its decision at this stage when state assembly elections would be held in October-November this year.
