Patna, 19/8: Amid a buzz that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar may emerge as the opposition’s prime ministerial candidate, his party Janata Dal (United) said on Friday if other parties want so, then this is an option.
JD(U) president Lalan Singh said Kumar’s main focus is on uniting opposition parties to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and he will visit the national capital to meet leaders from various parties after the vote of confidence in the Bihar assembly next week.
Kumar, Bihar’s longest serving chief minister and the main face of the JD(U), is not a contender for the opposition’s prime ministerial candidate, his close aide Singh told PTI
