Was Nitish Kumar Offered PM Post By INDIA Bloc? What JDU MP Said | Read

Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Jha, a confidant of party president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, on Saturday junked his party spokesperson K C Tyagi's claim that the opposition INDIA bloc had proposed to make Mr Kumar its prime ministerial choice after the Lok Sabha poll result.

Mr Tyagi earlier created a stir with his claim that Nitish Kumar was offered the post if he broke the alliance with the BJP. The JD(U), however, rejected the proposal and endorsed Narendra Modi as the next prime minister, he said.

Hours later, Mr Jha rejected the assertion of the seasoned leader of his own party.
