Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi is understood to have warned his party leaders of action if they continued to target Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, to smooth ruffled feathers of the crucial ally.

The JD(U), of which Kumar is the president, reciprocated by hinting that it would go with the opposition in the upcoming vice-presidential election.

Media reports said Gandhi intervened in favour of Kumar and instructed party leaders not to criticise the Bihar chief minister.
