Alliance is already gone, and Nitish Kumar was never in favor of designating the opposition’s coalition as I.N.D.I.A.
Patna: On Saturday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that he had other ideas and was against designating the opposition’s coalition as the I.N.D.I.A.
Nitish Kumar said, “I tried my best,” in response to rumors that RLD Chief Jayant Singh and National Conference Chief Farooq Abdullah are leaving the I.N.D.I.A. coalition. I had another idea for the alliance’s name, so I wasn’t even in favor of this one. The partnership has ended long ago. I am now employed by the people of Bihar and shall stay so.”
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar responded to Lalu Yadav’s “doors open” statement by saying, “Don’t worry about who says what… I left them (RJD) because things were not going well.”
One of the key figures at first who took the initiative to rally the opposition parties to take on the BJP-led NDA in the next Lok Sabha elections was Nitish Kumar.
But in a significant change of events, Nitish Kumar re-joined the BJP in Bihar after abandoning the Mahagathbandhan (the Grand Alliance made up of the JD(U), RJD, and Congress).
Nitish Kumar, who left the opposition I.N.D.I. and first met PM Modi last week.A bloc restated his vow to never again quit the NDA.
After meeting with Modi, Kumar is said to have met with BJP president JP Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah, with whom he addressed a variety of Bihar-related political and governance matters.
The leader of JD(U) made short comments to media recalling his membership in the BJP from 1995 till severing relations in 2013. He said he may have left the party twice but would never do so again.
“Not right now. We’re going to stay here (in the NDA),” he said.
Along with eight other ministers, three from the BJP and three from the JD(U), Kumar had took the oath of office. There are plans to increase the size of the council of ministers.
Before the Lok Sabha elections, both parties must handle a variety of complex political problems, such as how to divide the parliamentary seats that will be up for grabs between them and their smaller partners.
