The Hindu  

On the eve of the first coordination committee meeting of the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance Opposition bloc, the Janata Dal leaders from Bihar projected Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as the Prime Ministerial candidate for 2024. After the meeting, the block presidents said Mr. Kumar has asked to strengthen the party at block level to win all 40 Lok Sabha seats apart from spreading the development work done by the government. Let me make another prediction that in the next Lok Sabha elections, even five people contesting from JD will not win the election because Nitish Kumar has lost his credibility among the people,” Mr. Kishor said in Muzaffarpur. “The people of Bihar have understood that the priority for Nitish Kumar, once known as Sushasan Babu, is merely to remain the Chief Minister,” Mr. Kishor had quipped.
