BETTIAH: The Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) national executive empowered on Wednesday its president and junior Union HRD minister Upendra Kushwaha to decide whether to continue in the NDA or quit. He is likely to make the big decision on Thursday at Motihari.“I have been empowered to decide. “I challenge the state government to a debate on health and education,” he said.While Kushwaha mulled over his future in the NDA at one end of the Valmiki Tiger Reserve, CM Nitish Kumar came visiting the same environs on Wednesday. Let me mull over this and sleep tonight,” he told reporters at Valmikinagar.Pushed to the brink since the return of Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and his JD(U) to the NDA fold, Kushwaha has so far played hot and cold on his continuation in the alliance. He has been attacking the Nitish government on various issues and seeking an honourable number of seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls..
