JDU claim INDIA Bloc offered Nitish Kumar PM post
After Lok Sabha election results were announced, it has come to light that INDIA bloc party leader KC Tyagi claimed in an exclusive interview with a news channel that Nitish Kumar was offered the PM’s post.
The remarks came in the midst of speculation that the INDIA bloc is trying to get Nitish Kumar back into the alliance in a bid to stop the NDA from forming the government for a record third term.
This is notwithstanding the fact that Tyagi, had made it clear thatJDU rejected all offers from the opposition and plans to support and work with the NDA for the next five years.
Tyagi articulated that Nitish Kumar’s speech in support of PM Modi has put to rest all the speculations under circulation and that these reports should have stopped when JDU) collaborated with NDA.
Tyagi further went on to add that they were hurt by the way Congress and its allies treated their leader, and had to choose a different path. Those who took it for granted that Nitish Kumar wasn’t worthy of being the alliance’s convenor are now offering him the PM’s post. But already, the JDU has rejected all such offers.
