NEW DELHI: As Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar expanded his cupboard on Wednesday with seven BJP MLAs taking oath as ministers, Congress chief Supriya Shrinate stated the growth was solely a diversion tactic forward of the election scheduled for later this 12 months. The Congress chief stated there’s a battle of supremacy between the BJP and JDU and each time Nitish Kumar picks up his cellphone, the BJP will get apprehensive about whom he’s in all probability calling.
“This cabinet expansion is just a diversion tactic because in Bihar a survey happened and some hard truths came out…What work has Nitish Kumar’s government done for the welfare of backward, Dalits and tribals in Bihar? BJP and its allies run all these distraction campaigns,” Shrinate informed information company ANI.
Sanjay Saraogi, Sunil Kumar, Jibesh Mishra, Krishna Kumar Mantoo, Motilal Prasad, Vijay Kumar Mandal and Raju Kumar Singh joined the cupboard.
The growth got here as Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant Kumar lately stated that the NDA ought to declare Nitish because the chief minister face once more. BJP chief Shahnawaz Hussain dismissed any rift between the JDU and the BJP within the state and stated everybody agrees that Nitish Kumar is essentially the most skilled chief and the election will probably be fought below his management.
“Whatever has been said is something that we have been saying for a long time now, that we will contest the election and form the government under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. Our senior leaders, state leadership, and central leadership have said the same. In Bihar, we will contest under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, cross 200 (seats), and form the government once again. There is no dispute over this,” Shahnawaz Hussain stated.
“Opposition tries to stoke controversy where there is none…Nitish Kumar is the most experienced, and Bihar has made progress under his leadership. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called him ‘Laadla Mukhyamantri’ and has a lot of affection for him. So, there is no doubt that we will contest under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and form government,” he added.
