Nitish Kumar will be Bihar Chief Minister: Sushil Modi after NDA win in assembly polls

Bihar deputy chief minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushil Kumar Modi thanked the people of Bihar for trusting National Democratic Alliance (NDA). He also said that there were few chief ministers in Indian politics that were trusted by people for the fourth time.

“I thank the people of Bihar that they expressed their faith in NDA for the fourth time. It’s not ordinary. In Indian politics, there are very few CMs whom people trusted for the fourth time. They have given a clear mandate to NDA, there is no confusion," the deputy chief minister said while speaking to a news agency.

He also made it clear that Nitish Kumar will be the next Chief Minister of Bihar, “Nitish Kumar will



remain the chief minister, that was our commitment," he told News Channel.

The BJP won 74 of Bihar's 243 seats, taking the NDA's tally past the majority mark, while Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United was restricted to 43.

He further said that in an alliance, not all parties win an equal number of seats, and the main thing is that the people of Bihar voted for NDA.

"In an alliance, not all parties win an equal number of seats. Who won how many seats is irrelevant, people voted for NDA. BJP played a role in JD(U)'s victory & JD(U) played a role in BJP's victory. JD(U), BJP, VIP & HAM worked together, then we registered this victory," Sushil Modi said speaking to a news agency.
