‘Nitish Kumar is unanimous NDA leader’: JD(U) after Amit Shah’s comments on Bihar CM decision

The Janata Dal (United) on Saturday stated that incumbent Bihar Chief Minister and party president Nitish Kumar was the “unanimous leader” of the National Democratic Alliance in the state Assembly elections.

This came a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that while the NDA was contesting the elections under Kumar’s leadership, the decision about the next chief minister would be taken after the polls, India Today reported.

“Elected MLAs of the coalition partners will first elect their respective party leaders, who will sit together and decide as to who will head the next government,” Shah told the television channel on Friday.

The National Democratic Alliance in Bihar comprises the Janata Dal (United), the Bharatiya Janata Party, Chirag Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party, Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustani Awam Morcha and Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Morcha.

The Assembly polls are due to be held in two phases on November 6 and November 11, while the votes will be counted on November 14.

“Nitish Kumar never strays from the path of development,” JD (U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said on social media on Saturday. “People’s faith in Nitish Kumar is unflinching – as a symbol of good governance, friend of justice and as the unanimous leader of the NDA’s development agenda.”
