Janata Dal (United) Parliamentary Board Chairman and Former Union Minister, Upendra Kushwaha, on Sunday reiterated that Nitish Kumar is Chief Minister of Bihar and will hold the post till the NDA government remains in Bihar because he is its leader of NDA.
Speaking to ANI, Upendra Kushwaha said that the alliance of JDU with the BJP is under the leadership of Nitish Kumar in Bihar and as long as there is an alliance with BJP in the state, Nitish Kumar is its leader. When ANI questioned him about whether Nitish Kumar will continue as the Chief Minister of Bihar or was there any pressure from the BJP on him to leave the Chief Ministerial post, he said that there is no such type of pressure from the BJP.
"There is no pressure but some BJP people made statements in the past regarding this and so I said this. Otherwise, everything is fine in BJP and JDU alliance in Bihar," he said.
"I also want to say that some BJP leaders make unnecessary statements. They should stop the rhetoric. I demand from the central leadership of BJP to rein those leaders who are making unnecessary statements on Bihar CM," Mr Kushwaha further told ANI.
