JD(U) opposes renewal of Ganga treaty with Bangladesh, cites Bihar's interests

Bihar's JD(U) party opposes renewing the Ganga water treaty with Bangladesh. The party states the agreement conflicts with the state's current interests. Former chief minister Nitish Kumar also previously spoke against the treaty. Concerns of Bihar's people must be considered if the treaty is renewed. A yatra will now engage with citizens along the Ganga river.
