Sushil Modi's remarks came a day after Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav offered Kumar to contest Lok Sabha 2024 elections from UP's Phoolpur.
Former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and Rajya Sabha MP Sushil Kumar Modi on Sunday challenged Bihar CM Nitish Kumar to contest Lok Sabha elections from anywhere in Uttar Pradesh and claimed he won't be able to save his election deposit.
Sushil Modi's remarks came a day after Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav offered Kumar to contest Lok Sabha 2024 elections from UP's Phoolpur.
"Akhilesh Yadav wants Nitish ji to come in Uttar Pradesh and lose deposit in Election. Everyone knows that Akhilesh Yadav has no candidate in his own state. He had alliance with Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in the last Lok Sabha elections and what happened; the alliance later broke down and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won with 62 seats," Sushil Modi told ANI.
"Nitish Kumar should try to contest the Lok Sabha election from Phoolpur and he fails to save deposit there then he shall return to Bihar as a candidate who lost his deposit in the election. Leave Phoolpur, contest elections from anywhere in Uttar Pradesh, I challenge Nitish Kumar that he will not be able to save a deposit in the election," he said.
