“The party has not taken decision nor taken any resolution to project Nitish Kumar as PM candidate,” JD-U’s national general secretary KC Tyagi told the media in Patna today.
He was talking to reporters after a meeting of party’s office-bearers held at the official residence of chief minister Nitish Kumar.
This was the first meeting of the party after Kumar took over as the new president of the JD-U, replacing Shard Yadav.
He said the party can’t do anything if leaders across the country continue rallying behind Kumar, describing him as a “PM material”.
According to him, the chief minister has appealed to all secular parties to come together in a bid to fight “communal forces” saying none can fight the BJP alone.
