On the eve of the first coordination committee meeting of the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) Opposition bloc, the Janata Dal (United) leaders from Bihar projected Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as the Prime Ministerial candidate for 2024.
It happened during a meeting convened by Mr. Kumar at his official residence where 534 block presidents of the party were in attendance. Before the meeting at the CM’s residence began, the block presidents raised the slogans of ‘Desh ka Pradhanmantri kaisa ho, Nitish Kumar jaisa ho’ (What sort of Prime Minister must the country see, of the sort that Nitish Kumar be) and chanted it several times.
After the meeting, the block presidents said Mr. Kumar has asked to strengthen the party at block level to win all 40 Lok Sabha seats apart from spreading the development work done by the government.
