Nitish Kumar

Nitish Kumar's reception of Amit Shah appeared perfunctory, maintaining a distant demeanor while presenting a flower bouquet, shawl, and memento, seemingly averting his gaze.

He also addressed delays in strategizing due to mistakes within the INDIA bloc and assured a concrete plan for the Lok Sabha elections. Rohaniya, with a significant Patel population, holds sway in local elections, making it a crucial constituency for political campaigns. Kumar's rallies signal pre-poll positioning, keeping speculation alive about his potential candidacy in Uttar Pradesh and urging the Congress to acknowledge regional players' importance in certain states.

He criticized the opposition's tactics, mentioning Prime Minister Modi's comments during the election campaign about divisive caste-based surveys conducted in Bihar.

Expressing her opinion, Singh stated, "I firmly believe that the Congress should show a big heart and offer Nitish Kumar leadership of the INDIA bloc. Nitish Kumar is continuously doing good works in Bihar in every sector. If INDIA would contest under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, it would be better for the alliance as well as for the country."

The meeting, initially scheduled by Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge in Delhi on Wednesday, has been postponed to a later date that suits all participants.

Millben urged the people of Bihar and India to exercise their voting power to bring about change, emphasizing that now is the opportune moment for a woman leader to emerge.

Modi then proceeded to question the leaders of the INDIA bloc about their conspicuous silence in response to the Bihar Chief Minister's statement.

Shortly after Nitish Kumar issued an apology for his remarks and stated, "I apologize and take back my words," Sharma held a press conference to express her disapproval of his statement. She described his comments as reminiscent of low-quality film dialogues.

“It is the soil of Khudi Ram Bose, Jubba Sahani and Pandit Shahdev and I want to respect them and I pray to Chatthi Maiya to make Bihar free from Jungle Raj and Paltu Ram in 2025,” Shah said.

During this discussion, Kharge assured the Janata Dal (United) leader that alliance talks within the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) would resume after the completion of the Assembly elections in the five states.
