During the 'Panchayat AajTak Bihar' event held in the capital, Patna, JDU's Acting President Sanjay Jha assured that if an NDA government forms in Bihar, there will be no internal disputes regarding Nitish Kumar's leadership. He emphasized that the 2020 election experience proves Nitish Kumar's competence in running the government with BJP, without hindrance.
From the stage, Sanjay Jha remarked that politics depends on post-election circumstances, but in 2020, despite JDU's 43 seats to BJP's 73 or 74, Nitish Ji offered the BJP leadership to appoint their own CM candidate, assuring collaboration. However, BJP placed faith in Nitish Ji, leading to five years of joint governance.
He reiterated past claims of Nitish Ji facing no issues in leading a government with BJP.
Jha also highlighted Bihar's economic growth, noting double-digit growth in several sectors under Nitish Kumar's leadership. From dismal roads to rapid development, Nitish Ji's tenure ushered progress, with future development assured through central support.
