The Union minister spoke to Nitish Kumar for over 90 minutes and assured him of stern action against the BJP leaders for their recent statements against him.
In a closed-door meeting at Nitish Kumar's residence in Patna, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan last evening assured the Bihar Chief Minister that he will stay the full term.
Sources say that the Union minister spoke to Nitish Kumar for over 90 minutes and assured him of stern action against the BJP leaders for their recent statements against him.
In a bid to pacify the Chief Minister, Mr Pradhan reportedly told Mr Kumar that he will coordinate with him on behalf of the central leadership of the BJP from now onwards, a role earlier played by former Union Minister Arun Jaitley.
Mr Pradhan's visit to Patna caught everyone in the Bihar BJP off guard, including state party President, Sanjay Jaiswal who rushed to Patna and met him this morning.
