Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today rubbished all rumors that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge was suggested to be the face of the Prime Ministerial post at the All India meeting of opposition parties last week and made him the convenor of the alliance. They are angry because of not being built.
The Janata Dal (U) leader, who took the initiative to unite the opposition parties in opposition to the BJP, said, ‘I have no disappointment, no resentment.” After talking to reporters, Nitish said about Kharge’s name being presented by Chief Ministers of Delhi and West Bengal, Arvind Kejriwal and Mamata Banerjee respectively, ‘The issue (of a leader’s name) came up in the meeting. I made it clear at the beginning that we have no desire of our own. We want all people to walk together. Then another name was presented, I said it is acceptable to me.” Opponents of the Janata Dal (U) in the BJP-led NDA criticized the development, claiming that Aam Aadmi Party chief Kejriwal and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee. has actually destroyed Nitish’s ambition to become the Prime Minister.
On the question of finalizing the seat distribution by January, Nitish said, ‘Yes, I said that the seat distribution should be finalized as soon as possible. I have expressed my views on this before. I am confident that this will be done in all the states at the right time.’
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said that the distribution of seats will be done at the right time. Nitish, who has accused the Modi government at the center of controlling the media, said, ‘You media people have control over someone else. We respect you and will continue to do so. You guys make great progress.’
