Nitish Kumar rejects RJD's 'prediction' of a new government in Bihar in 2021

India Today  

Bihar chief minister and JDU leader Nitish Kumar on Friday rejected Opposition RJD's "prediction" that 2021 would bring political trouble for him and possibly a new government in the state. "No, no, there will be no political problem in the new year," Nitish Kumar said while speaking to the media about his government's challenges in 2021 after holding a review meeting of Bihar's transport department. Several RJD leaders, including former Bihar Assembly Speaker Uday Narayan Chaudhary, former minister Shyam Rajak and party spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari, have, in the last couple of days, "predicted" a change of guard in Bihar in the new year. Uday Narayan Chaudhary had even asked Nitish Kumar to make RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav Bihar's chief minister and become a possible prime ministerial candidate of the Opposition in the 2024 general elections.
