Bihar Elections Nitish Kumar Leadership

Bihar BJP president Samrat Chaudhary on Thursday announced that the NDA would contest the 2025 assembly polls in the state under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sharing stage with Nitish Kumar again today, said it has become clear after the first phase of voting that the "NDA government is being formed again under the leadership of Nitish Babu", whom he referred to as a "friend". Pointing to the "huge crowd" at the NDA rallies, he called it "proof" of the people's enthusiasm f...

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday mocked rivals claim of bringing qualitative changes in the health and other fields if voted to power, asking them to look back at their track record during 15 years they were in power in the state.

The country is safe in the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as is Bihar's progress under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, BJP president JP Nadda said on Sunday as he started the ruling coalition's election campaign from Gaya with the first post-COVID-19 public rally in the state.

Out of the NDA in Bihar, Lok Janshakti Party president Chirag Paswan asserted today that he enjoys "very cordial" relations with the BJP and noted that he has firmly stood by the Prime Minister since 2014 when Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had left the alliance to protest against Narendra Modi's leadership.

Bihar BJP's seniormost leader Sushil Modi today tacitly condemned Chirag Paswan's move to spurn the leadership of Nitish Kumar and contest solo in the coming state elections. Only Nitish Kumar, he declared, will be the Chief Minister, "whatever may be the outcome in terms of numbers".

Just hours before a formal media briefing of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar today, the BJP put out an emphatic statement in support of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. "Only those who accept Nitish Kumar's leadership in Bihar will stay in the NDA," said the BJP's Bihar chief in an apparent message to ally Chirag Paswan, who rece...

Amit Shah, campaigning in Bihar for polls later this year, said on Thursday that he wanted to "end all rumours" by declaring that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) coalition would contest under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

With the BJP suffering a crushing defeat in the Jharkhand elections after its separation from the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), the party leadership in neighbouring Bihar on Thursday insisted that its alliance with Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United remains strong and unaffected by differences over seat-sharing.

Nitish Kumar will remain the Chief Minister of Bihar after the 2020 assembly election, which the BJP will fight under his leadership, the party's national chief Amit Shah has said. "The Janata Dal (United) and the BJP will go to polls together and we will fight polls under the leadership of Nitish ji. This is absolutely clear," the Union Home Minis...

The NDA will contest next year's Bihar assembly elections under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi said on Monday - a comment seen as an effort to allay the tension between the two allies, simmering since the victory in the Lok Sabha elections.
