Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday ruled out any possibility of returning to the NDA, which he had junked a year ago, to which the BJP said he would not be welcomed back even if he begged for realignment.

Kumar was speaking at a function organised on the occasion of the birth anniversary of RSS icon Deen Dayal Upadhyay. BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi, Kumar's former deputy, called the JD(U) supremo a "political liability who had lost his steam" and said he would not be welcomed back even if he begged for a realignment (naak ragdenge to bhi nahin).

The drama unfolded at a park in the city's Rajendra Nagar locality where Kumar came to take part in the function which his government had been holding since the time it shared power with the BJP. Kumar was accompanied, among others, by his current deputy Tejashwi Yadav, whose party RJD takes pride in having remained uncompromising in its opposition to the BJP.
