With a smile, Nitish Kumar quipped, “Why don’t you congratulate him?” His response hinted at a light-hearted dismissal of the rumors and emphasized the unity within the party. Kumar firmly ruled out any likelihood of a party split, emphasizing that these speculations held no merit.
Nitish Kumar has played a pivotal role in uniting major opposition parties across the country. His party, once part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), is now a part of the alliance of opposition parties known as ‘India.’
Journalists also inquired about Sushil Modi’s claim that Nitish Kumar aspired to become a Governor. Nitish Kumar promptly denied this allegation, further solidifying his commitment to serving the state of Bihar as its Chief Minister.
