Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar reaffirmed his commitment to working for the State, and denied having any desire to get involved with BJP again
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday rubbished claims that he would be joining up with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) again in the future. Mr. Kumar expressed his disappointment with the workings of the media, and stressed that his statement was misinterpreted.
“When I say something, you people [the media] do not listen carefully. People from all parties were sitting in the programme in Motihari, so I put forward my views. When our government was formed in the year 2005, I started several programmes from Champaran itself. I was discussing all these things and telling them that all of you will remember this, right? So, everyone clapped and said yes, we will remember. It’s just that. I have not said anywhere that I am with them [BJP],“ Mr. Kumar said in the premises of old secretariat on the sidelines of a programme organised to pay tribute to the first Chief Minister of Bihar, the late Shri Krishna Singh, on his birth anniversary.
