Patna, 19 October (NEWS IN BIHAR). National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders have different opinions regarding who will become the Chief Minister after the assembly elections in Bihar. While Union Home Minister Amit Shah is talking about deciding the Chief Minister in the meeting of MLAs after the elections, Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) founder and Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, while supporting the Janata Dal United (JDU), said that the name of the Chief Minister should be announced before the elections.

Jitan Ram Manjhi said on Sunday that no one ever said who would be the Chief Minister. He said that it was decided that he would contest the elections under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. The leaders of Janata Dal United and Bharatiya Janata Party had also said the same thing, but I believe that the marriage procession without the groom is not right.

Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said, it would be better if Nitish Kumar is declared the Chief Ministerial candidate and contests the elections. This is my personal opinion. I believe that a wedding procession without a groom is not right, so if we have accepted the groom, then why do we accept the groom, why not declare him as the groom? It would be better if we declare Nitish Kumar as the Chief Minister and contest the elections.

It is noteworthy that during his visit to Bihar yesterday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said in a program of a private TV channel that NDA is contesting the Bihar Assembly elections this time too under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. After the results come, all the MLAs together will decide the Chief Minister. This time in Bihar NDA, Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal United have got 101 seats each, while Chirag Paswan’s quota has got 29 seats. Whereas Jitan Ram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha’s party has been given 6 seats each.—————
