A day after the Election Commission announced the Bihar assembly election schedule, the ruling BJP expressed confidence in a decisive and effective mandate for the Nitish Kumar-led incumbent NDA coalition.
“In poll-bound Bihar, under the leadership of the Nitish Kumar-led NDA, we are making headway and are sure of our victory. The issue of leadership has also been settled within the NDA”, BJP national spokesman Sudhanshu Trivedi said here on Tuesday afternoon.
Speaking to the media at the party’s state headquarters here, Trivedi said, “Unlike the INDI block, the NDA has resolved all poll-related issues and is confident about its poll prospects.”
Just as the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji has ushered in an era of development, with India making new strides globally in all arenas, Nitish Kumar’s leadership in Bihar has also pulled the state back from the anarchy of ‘Jungle Raj’ to an era of progress.”.
“Hence, we neither have infighting among allies nor any unresolved issues regarding leadership in Bihar,” he said.
Trivedi further said, “In case the BJP secures more seats than the Janata Dal (United), who will lead the coalition? We have settled this issue as well. As far as the number of seats is concerned, in the last elections too, the BJP had more seats than the JD(U); however, Nitish Kumar continued to be the leader.
