Patna, Mar 31 (UNI) President of Rastriya Lok Morcha (RLM) Upendra Kushwaha on Monday made it clear that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar would be the CM face of NDA again in the next Bihar assembly elections to be held in October-November this year.
Kushwaha told media persons here that there was no confusion over the CM face of NDA as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was the unanimous choice of all its constituents.
NDA would form the government under the leadership of Chief Minister Kumar again after the next assembly elections in Bihar, slated for October-November this year, he added.
" There was no specific agenda for the NDA meeting held at CM residence in Patna on Sunday during the visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah ", RLM leader said, adding it was natural for NDA leaders to discuss about upcoming Bihar assembly elections. It was a short duration meeting and no specific agenda was there, he responded while repeated queries of media persons in this connection.
Kushwaha, to a query, said that it was for all to see what was going on in the Grand Alliance in Bihar, an oblique reference to the tug of war between Congress and RJD over the CM face of the Grand Alliance in the upcoming Bihar assembly elections.
It was all smooth functioning in NDA, and the number of its allies could increase in the future, he remarked, but refused to give any specific reply in this connection.
In politics, there was always a possibility for an increase in the number in alliances, he quipped but clarified that there was no such possibility in immediate future.
