The BJP will win all 40 Lok Sabha seats from Bihar next year, and will also form the government alone in the State’s Assembly election in 2025, party president J.P. Nadda said on Thursday. Though he did not name Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who snapped ties with the BJP last year, Mr. Nadda also sent a clear message by saying that the BJP has decided not to allow anyone else to sit on its shoulders.
He was speaking at an event to commemorate the centenary of Kailashpati Mishra, one of the founding members of the party and a towering BJP leader from Bihar.
“The best tribute to Kailashpati Mishra will be when the BJP wins all 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar and also forms its own government in 2025. Humne dusro ko kandhe par baithna chor diya hai, ab khud ke khande majboot kar ke, apni sarkar banayenge Bihar mein. (We have left others to sit on our shoulders, now by strengthening our own shoulders, we will form our own government in Bihar),” Mr. Nadda told the 5,000 party workers gathered at Bapu Sabhagar in Patna.
