Prior to the national executive committee meeting of JD(U) in Delhi on Thursday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar emphasized that it was a routine gathering held annually. Addressing the media, Kumar stated, "This is a normal meeting which takes place every year. Nothing new in it. We are going to Delhi to attend the meeting."
Responding to queries about the possibility of assuming the national presidency of the party, Nitish Kumar remained non-committal. However, speculations abound that Kumar might replace Lalan Singh in the role and assume leadership.
Interestingly, a poster in Patna promoting the national executive committee meeting of JD(U) did not feature the photo of Lalan Singh.
Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav, standing alongside Nitish Kumar, dismissed opposition allegations. Yadav attributed the rumors to a pattern of creating confusion whenever the government accomplishes significant feats. He cited examples such as the caste-based survey, increased reservation quota, and the elevation of contractual teachers to state employee status.
Yadav asserted, "They have only one job which is to create confusion in the state, but it would not change anything. Truth always stands tall. If they do not accept our good works, it is their problem. We have nothing to do with it." He further noted that such confusion-creating tactics have been witnessed during similar events organized by JD(U).
