Highlights: Nitish addresses media after Modi announcement

Patna: Bihar Chief Minister today addressed media a day after the BJP announced Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the head of its election committee for 2014.

Here are the highlights:

• We have seen the news that has come and we will discuss it within the party
• Once that is done, we will give an appropriate response from the party
• We'll discuss this soon within the party; no need for further questions on this issue
• There is no question on what is a party
• Whatever news have come in I have said in that context
• We will do vichaar-vimarsh on that and then comment
• No questions on this topic, please keep all questions pending until we comment
• On JD(U)'s performance in Maharajganj by-poll: We are doing a review on Maharajganj issue, we'll also analyse this. The seat wasn't ours, it was RJDs.
• We need to see what has happened in this specific instance - we need to see what factors , whether organisational or political - we'll analyse and take further steps
