Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Wednesday. This was the first meeting between the two after Nitish Kumar broke his party's alliance with the RJD and returned to the BJP-led NDA's fold on January 28. 

The meeting took place five days before the new Nitish government faces a trust vote in the Bihar assembly on February 12.

Kumar is also expected to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda in the national capital.

Bihar Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, both from the BJP, called on the PM on Monday.

According to JD(U) sources, issues pertaining to Rajya Sabha polls in the state may also be discussed during the CM's meeting with top BJP leaders.

Six Rajya Sabha seats in Bihar are falling vacant, for which elections are scheduled to be held on February 27.

Of the six seats, two are currently with the JD(U), held by former party president Bashishth Narayan Singh and senior leader Aneel Hegde, while two are with the RJD, held by Manoj Kumar Jha and Misa Bharti..

One seat is held by BJP's Sushil Kumar Modi, who was earlier a deputy chief minister, and one with the Congress, held by its state unit president Akhilesh Prasad Singh.
