PATNA: Stung by the saffron party's decision that there will be no alliance with the "unpopular" JD(U) leader, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Monday asserted that he will "rather die" than realign with the BJP.
Kumar made the remark while replying to questions here, from journalists, about the BJP's decision taken at its two-day state executive meeting that concluded in Darbhanga on the previous day.
"Mar jaana qabool hai lekin unke saath jaana humko kabhi qabool nahin hai, yah yaad rakhiye) (I will rather die than join hands with them, do remember this)," the septuagenarian said on the sidelines of a function organised on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's death anniversary.
