NDTV
Nitish Kumar, after swapping allies and forming a new government with the RJD, has made several attempts to stitch together an alliance of like-minded parties to challenge the BJP.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar once again advised all the opposition parties, including the Congress, to join hands to defeat the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. A "united front" would be able to reduce the BJP to less than 100 seats, the 71-year-old Bihar leader said to loud cheering at an event attended by several opposition leaders including from the Congress. #WATCH | I want you people (Congress) to take a quick decision.

"I want you people (Congress) to take a quick decision. If they take my suggestion and fight together, they (BJP) will go below 100 seats, but if they don't take my suggestion, you know what will happen," Mr Kumar said without naming his former ally.
Speaking at the 11th General Convention of CPI-M in Patna, he also reiterated that he does not have any ambitions to become the Prime Minister, or was a contender for the post.
"My only ambition is to unite the country and set it free from people spreading hatred. I really don't want anything. We will stand with you," he said.
