Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is unreachable for Yashwant Sinha, the opposition's candidate in the presidential election. During a visit to Patna today, Mr Sinha told reporters he tried to speak with Mr Kumar several times, but the Bihar Chief Minister did not return any of his calls.
Mr Sinha's chagrin appears to be wishful thinking as Mr Kumar has already met with the National Democratic Alliance's presidential candidate Draupadi Murmu, leaving no doubt about where his support would go, also considering the BJP is Mr Kumar's Janata Dal (United) alliance partner in Bihar.
"I have been calling leaders across the country seeking support for the presidential election. I dialled the Bihar Chief Minister repeatedly, sent messages, but it seems my status is too low that he (Mr Kumar) considers speaking with me inappropriate. So no, I haven't spoken with him," Mr Sinha told reporters.
