Bihar CM Nitish Kumar won’t attend Jind Programme, JD(U) says his hands are full

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will not be attending the function in Jind on September 25, JD(U) said, adding that the chief minister’s hands are full with trying to tackle the challenges like the possible third wave of Covid-19 pandemic and viral fever outbreak in the state.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will not be attending a function in Haryana later this month, where a host of political bigwigs are slated to share the stage. The Janata Dal (United) cited preparation for a possible third wave of Covid-19 pandemic and viral fever outbreak in the state as the reason for the chief minister’s absence from the function. JD(U) national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan in a statement said that the chief minister’s hands were full so he will not be able to visit Jind on September 25, though the JD(U) will be sending national secretary general K C Tyagi as its representative.
