Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday disclosed that he has asked his deputy Tejashwi Yadav and president of his Janata Dal (United) Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan to attend an event to be hosted by Telangana counterpart K Chandrasekhara Rao.

The JD(U) supreme leader, however, insisted that this would not cast a shadow on his partnership with the Congress which KCR, as the Telangana CM is popularly known, views as principal rival.
