As Mahagathbandhan lost to NDA in Bihar with latter winning 125 seats in 243-member assembly, Congress Digvijaya Singh has offered CM Nitish Kumar to join grand alliance once again and fulfill his national aspirations. In a tweet on Wednesday, Digvijaya Singh reminded Nitish of his beginnings in politics and teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and Jayaprakash Narayan. This offer from senior leer of Congress comes as Tejashwi remained short of forming government in Bihar and Congress is being blamed for winning only 19 seats out of 70 y h contested.

He said, "Nitish ji, Bihar is small for you, you should enter national politics. Do t let British's policy of "divide and rule" practiced by Union government to destroy socialists like you who believe in  secular ideology. Do consider this offer. This will be a true tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and Jayaprakash Narayan. You are a politician descended from ir legacy and w is time to return to ir party. I would like to remind you that Janata Party was broken on basis of Dual Membership of Sangh. Leave BJP / RSS. Save country from ruin."
