JDU to break away from BJP

India News: The resignation of L K Advani from all party posts on Monday may well be the final straw in the 17-year-old ties between the Janata Dal (United) and the BJP. The fragile relations between the coalition government partners in Bihar, which had come under tremendous strain following the appointment of Gujarat Chief minister Narendra Modi as chairman of the BJP's election campaign committee on Sunday, came a step closer close to the breaking point on Monday with Advani putting in his papers in his party.
