Yav wrote in a tweet that Vice-captain (Sushil Modi) must have felt b to stay away from Captain's (Nitish Kumar) function.

Yav was responding on Sushil Modi's September 11 tweet in which he h hailed Kumar's leership and said that re will be change in leership. He h tweeted: "Nitish Kumar is Captain of NDA in Bihar & will remain its Captain in next assembly elections in 2020 also. When Captain is hitting 4 & 6 & defeating rivals by inning where is question of any change." With Bihar reeling under floods after sudden incessant rains, blame game within its political circle has begun. While RJD is trying to get back into game, after facing Lok Sabha poll debacle, NDA is trying to keep its flock toger ahe of state polls.

Bihar assembly elections

With a total of 243 seats in Bihar assembly, state goes to polls in upcoming year. While ruling alliance of JD(U) and BJP are reportedly having internal tussles, Opposition alliance - Mahagathbandhan appears to be directionless after massive poll drubbing in general elections 2019. Lalu Yav's party failed to open its account in general elections and Nitish Kumar is facing anti-incumbency. With JD(U) VP's strategy team working with Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal, Nitish Kumar speaking against BJP on various issues and repeated invitations by RJD to Kumar for rejoining Mahagathbandhan, poll-season in Bihar piques interest.
