Patna, Aug 19 (IBNS) : A truncated Janata Dal (United) under the leadership of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday adopted a resolution to join the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, reports said.

The resolution was passed at the national executive meeting of the Nitish faction of JDU at Nitish Kumar's official residence.

According to reports, the party is expected to formally accept the invitation to join the BJP-led NDA.

The party virtually split into two after Nitish Kumar pulled out of the alliance with the RJD and Congress to form a new Government in the state with the support of the BJP.

The Sharad Yadav faction, which is opposed to the move is also holding a parallel meeting at S K Memorial hall.

Sharad Yadav says Nitish Kumar has betrayed the people's mandate by r walking out of the Mahagathbandhan.
