With the Congress willing to play ball, JD (U) leader Nitish Kumar's initiative of cobbling together a "secular formation", in the lead-in to the August 21 by-elections to 10 assembly seats, as a strategy to stop the BJP-led NDA juggernaut in Bihar appeared to gain ground Wednesday. "The BJP is unlikely to face major challenges in Haryana, Maharashtra and other states going to polls this year, but political parties in Bihar have the potential to put up a strong challenge. In the run-up to the assembly elections next year, the secular parties can experiment with next month's by-polls as a test case," a senior Congress leader told. Kumar and RJD's Lalu Prasad bitter political foes till recently have turned friends and even agreed to share four seats each in the by-elections, while offering one each to Congress and CPI. Of these 10 constituencies, six were held by BJP, three by RJD and one by the ruling JD (U).
