PATNA: A day after JD (U) leader Rajiv Ranjan Singh, alias Lalan, said that Bihar CM Nitish Kumar is prime minister material, although he is not in the race for the post, the president of the His party’s parliamentary board, Upendra Kushwaha, reiterated that statement on Monday and said “the intention was not to disturb anyone.” Lalan had made that statement in Patna on Sunday.
Nalanda MP JD (U) Kaushlendra Kumar even offered his seat to Nitish so he could contest Lok Sabha’s upcoming polls. He cited the example of Narendra Modi, saying that he was also the chief minister of Gujarat before he became prime minister.
BJP warned its alliance partner on the issue. “People decide who they want to be their prime minister. Let it be clear: there are no vacancies for this post in the near future, ”said party state spokesman Prem Ranjan Patel.
