He won in 2014, should now worry about 2024: CM Nitish Kumar’s jibe at PM Modi
India Today
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said the latter had won in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, but should now worry about 2024.
Nitish Kumar, who was sworn in as the Bihar Chief Minister for the eighth time on Wednesday, took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said he should worry about 2024 (polls.)
After the oath-taking ceremony, CM Nitish Kumar took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, “He won in 2014, but should now worry about 2024.”
The Janata Dal (United) had broken off with the BJP and joined hands with the RJD, Congress and other regional parties to form the government in Bihar. On Wednesday, Nitish Kumar was sworn in as the chief minister and RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav was sworn in as the deputy chief minister.
“The party made the decision together (to leave BJP)...whether I will stay or not (till 2024)...they can say what they want, but I will not live in the year 2014,” Bihar CM Nitish Kumar said.
Hitting out at the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Nitish Kumar said, “Those who came to power in 2014, will they be victorious in 2024? I would like all (opposition) to be united for 2024.”
However, Nitish Kumar dismissed claims of being the prime ministerial candidate for 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
“I am not a contender for any such post (on PM post),” Bihar CM Nitish Kumar said.
