Patna: Chief Minister Nitish Kumar completely denied having any desire to get involved with BJP again and said on Saturday that what he said during the convocation ceremony in Motihari was misinterpreted by the media.
Nitish while speaking at the convocation ceremony of Mahatma Gandhi Central University in Motihari pointed towards a BJP leader from the stage and said on Thursday, "All the people we have here, are our friends. You will remain connected to me as long as I live."
After Nitish's statement, there were speculations in the media that JDU is again leaning towards BJP but these speculations were completely denied by the Bihar CM today saying that his statement was misinterpreted.
Clarifying his statement, the Bihar CM said, "I just wanted to remind the people over there (in convocation) to remember the work which has been done by the state govt in Bihar else people only falsely talk about the central government."
RJD's Shakti Yadav had also earlier said that "Radha Mohan Singh (of BJP) was sitting in front (during the convocation), so he spoke about his personal relationship. There is no mention of any party. People interpreted him incorrectly." (with Agency inputs)
