Bihar BJP's Clarification On Nitish Kumar And A Message For Chirag Paswan | Read

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 recently declared his party would contest on its own and fight Nitish Kumar in this month's state polls. "The NDA leader in Bihar is Nitish Kumar. The BJP embraces his leadership in Bihar and all in NDA must accept his leadership. The BJP will make every effort to make him the Chief Minister. Nitish Kumar will become Chief Minister with three-fourth majority," Bihar BJP president Sanjay Jaiswal said.
