JD(U) Distances Itself from Ex-MP's Bharat Ratna Demand for Nitish Kumar

• JD(U) disavows ex-MP KC Tyagi's request for Bharat Ratna for Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, calling it a personal view.
• Party spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan Prasad stated Tyagi's recent statements are not in line with party ideology.
• KC Tyagi, a long-time JD(U) member, wrote to PM Modi, calling Kumar a "precious gem" worthy of the honour.
• Anonymous JD(U) leaders suggest such demands often come from those not well-disposed towards Nitish Kumar.
• Other leaders like Tej Pratap Yadav also demanded Bharat Ratna for his father, Lalu Prasad, alongside Nitish Kumar.
