Upendra Kushwaha is miffed with the BJP these days. This happened after he was told by the BJP leadership to merge his party in the BJP. It seems he might break ranks with the BJP any moment and resign from the Union cabinet. Those knowing him claim he might tie up with Congress, Lalu and Sharad Yadav faction of the JD (U). He feels that 10 per cent Kushwaha, 16 per cent Yadav, 4 per cent Manjhi and 18-19 per cent Muslims in Bihar could forge a formidable combination which could run Nitish-BJP combine to run for every penny in 2019 parliamentary polls.
