OPINION | Will the opposition ever accept Nitish as its PM candidate?

India TV News  

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday announced that his new cabinet will take oath after August 15, and a special session of state assembly will be called on August 24 and 25. BJP leaders say, Nitish Kumar, who could not win two Lok Sabha seats for his party from Bihar in 2014, will never be taken seriously by other opposition parties. On Wednesday, BJP leader and Union Minister Giriraj Singh lashed out saying ‘the opposition is leading Nitish Kumar up a blind alley’. The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena also welcomed Nitish Kumar’s move, with party leader Arvind Sawant alleging that BJP will never allow regional parties to grow. AAP supremo and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, when asked whether his party would support Nitish Kumar for the post of PM, said: “We will decide when the Lok Sabha elections will take place.” All the opposition leaders who described the Bihar developments as “the beginning of change” and “beginning of countdown against BJP”, are already known for their staunch anti-Modi stand.
