Why Nitish Kumar said 2020 Bihar Assembly election is his last

India Today  

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s announcement at a poll rally in Purnea that this Bihar Assembly election is his last one came as a surprise to many. It was the time when Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi too declared Nitish Kumar as “prime ministerial material”. But Nitish Kumar showed political acumen by joining hands with his rival Lalu Prasad to stop the Modi wave in the 2015 Bihar election. While Nitish Kumar has announced his electoral retirement with the 2020 Bihar election, he will definitely be the Chief Minister if NDA wins.
