New Delhi [India], March 2 (ANI): BJP national spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain, while reflecting on the question over the chief ministerial face of the NDA in the upcoming Bihar assembly elections, said that both the central as well as the state leadership has declared that the elections will be contested under the leadership of CM Nitish Kumar.
Speaking to ANI on Sunday, Hussain said, “There is no dispute over NDA’s face in Bihar. The central and state leadership has declared that they will contest the (Bihar assembly) elections under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and win over 200 seats…”
Earlier, on February 25, CM Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar, had urged the people of Bihar to support his father in the upcoming elections.
“I urge the people of Bihar to vote for Bihar CM Nitish Kumar as he has done a lot of development in the state. Last time, people gave 43 seats. They should ensure that we win more seats in the elections so that we can continue the pace of development,” Nishant Kumar said.
He urged JD(U) workers to take Nitish Kumar’s policies and achievements from the past 19 years to the people of Bihar.
Last month, Nitish Kumar expanded his ministry by inducting seven new ministers into his cabinet.
Meanwhile, Calling Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar, his “brother”, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Friday said that if Nishant joins politics then there is the possibility that JD(U) will survive.
“He is our brother. I want him to join politics as soon as possible; otherwise, the BJP will finish the JD(U)–the party formed by Sharad Yadav. He should join politics soon. If he joins politics, then there would be the possibility that JD(U) will survive. It will depend on how Nishant works for the party. We joined politics not because our parents asked us to do it but because the people of Bihar and our party workers needed that,” Tejashwi told ANI.
Assembly elections in Bihar are likely to be held in October-November of this year. (ANI)
