Patna, September 20
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday categorically dismissed any rift within the alliance and predicted that the NDA will win more than 200 seats in the next year Assembly election.
He further asserted that those trying to create a fissure between his JD(U) and alliance partner BJP will be in trouble.
Addressing the state council meeting of the Janata Dal (United), of which he is the national president, Kumar lashed out at his detractors charging them with “lacking political acumen and trying to gain publicity by launching personal attacks on me... many of them later privately confiding that they did so because it was their USP”.
“I would advise my party spokesmen, do not get drawn into all this. Express the party position on issues firmly but avoid reacting to every slanderous remark that may be made against me, Kumar said.
“Try to recall the 2010 assembly poll days. Skeptics were doubting that we will get majority. We ended up winning 206 out of 243 seats. Rest assured we will cross 200 next year, Kumar said evoking applause.
The NDA had won 39 out of a total 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar recently. The state will see poll by the end of 2020. — PTI
