class="image-alt">Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and state Governor DY Patil.</div></div><div class="story-movie"><div class="movie-detail"></div></div><div class="description"> With a new governor DY Patil at the helm in the state, the Nitish Kumar government appears to be mending fences with Raj Bhawan.<br/><br/>Patil's predecessor Debanand Konwar - who has now been shifted to Tripura - was locked in a prolonged and acrimonious tussle with Nitish over many issues, including appointment of university vice-chancellors, concerning higher education in the past three-and-a-half years.<br/><br/>But now, the state government has taken initiative to normalise its relations with Raj Bhawan which had touched its nadir during Konwar's term.<br/><br/>Chief Minister Nitish Kumar hosted a dinner in honour of Patil and his wife Pushpalata Patil at 1, Anne Marg - the Chief Ministerial bungalow - on Sunday night to welcome them to Bihar.<br/><br/>Nitish invited only a small group of selected guests and played a perfect host to Patil's family. Interestingly, most of the ministers were not invited to the dinner.<br/><br/>Nitish's 'dinner diplomacy' is being seen in the political circles here as his initiative to defuse the long-standing tension between the state government and Raj Bhawan.<br/><br/>The Governor, on his part, presented Nitish with the Jayaprakash Memorial Award constituted by the Manik Lalji Balikisun Das Gandhi Memorial Trust from his home state, at a ceremony at Raj Bhawan.<br/><br/>A delegation of the Nagpur-based trust presented a cheque of Rs 31,000 and a shawl to Nitish on this occasion.<br/><br/>The prize money has been given to the Chief Minister's relief fund. <br/><br/>Apparently aware of the confrontation between Raj Bhawan and the State government, Patil has also sought to reassure the government that he would like to work in tandem with it.<br/><br/>Soon after taking oath last week, he said that his foremost priority would be to tailor education to the needs of the students of the state.<br/><br/>In his first public address after taking over as Governor at the Bihar foundation day ceremony, Patil reassured the government that he would put education system back on track in the state.</p></div></div></div><div class="clearfix"></div><div class="agbutton story-like-dislike"><div id="name-dv">Do You Like This Story? <span id="lky"><button title="Like" id="like_count"
