Meanwhile, news agency ANI reports that many BJP workers are dissatisfied with Nitish Kumar’s return. BJP’s assessment is that there is anti-governance sentiment against the current Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Therefore, the BJP does not favor the idea of dissolving the state legislature and holding elections in the state along with the Lok Sabha elections. It is also feared that anti-incumbency sentiment against Nitish Kumar may threaten BJP’s victory in this situation. Therefore, the BJP has asked its leaders not to make any statement regarding Nitish Kumar’s return to the NDA.
JD(U) leader Sanjeev Kumar and MLA Gopal Mandal said that whatever decision Nitish Kumar takes, the party workers will be with him. Sanjeev Kumar said that nothing has been decided yet, but whatever the JDU chief takes, it will be in the interest of Bihar. He was the Chief Minister for 18 years and we were lucky to work with him,” added Sanjeev Kumar.
We will follow our National President (Nitish Kumar) wherever he goes. JD(U) MLAs are strong and cannot be broken. People will do anything to protect their survival – Gopal Mandal told ANI.
