New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi right this moment endorsed Nitish Kumar because the face of NDA in Bihar, saying he “performed an enormous function for a brand new India and a brand new Bihar”.
“Bihar was behind by way of growth for a few years — politics, money crunch have been a few of the causes,” PM Modi mentioned.
“There was a time when street connectivity, web connectivity weren’t mentioned. Being landlocked state, Bihar confronted many challenges… Nitish Kumar has performed an enormous function in our intention in the direction of a New India, New Bihar,” he added.
As soon as an arch-rival of PM Modi, Mr Kumar had ended the alliance with the BJP in 2013 when Mr Modi, then the Chief Minister of Gujarat, was named the Prime Ministerial candidate of the NDA.
Within the run-up to the 2015 state elections, the 2 have been engaged in a bitter political tussle.
However the five-time Chief Minister, who’s looking for re-election, returned to the BJP fold in July 2017 after ending the Grand Alliance with the Congress and Lalu Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal.
