I did not want to be CM, accepted the post due to BJP's insistence: Nitish Kumar's Ball Bachan

Patna, Ta. 15 November 2020, Sunday

The NDO has won the assembly elections in Bihar. Following the results, an exercise was underway to form a new government in Bihar, which got its final op on Sunday. At the NDA meeting on Sunday, Nitish Kumar was chosen as the leader of the Legislative Party. First, Nitish Kumar dissolved the assembly and then met the governor and proposed to form a new government. In the midst of all this, Nitish Kumar has once again shocked everyone with his statement. "I did not want to be the chief minister, but because of the BJP's insistence, I have accepted the post of CM," he said.

He was speaking after being selected as the leader of his legislative party at an NDA meeting in Patna on Sunday. He further said that I wanted someone from the BJP to become the Chief Minister of Bihar this time, but the people of the BJP insisted that I become the Chief Minister. At the insistence of the BJP leaders, I have once again accepted the post of CM.

The BJP has won more seats than the JDU in this election. However, this election has been fought under the leadership of BJP Nitish Kumar, which has led to his selection as CM. Nitish Kumar will be sworn in as Bihar Chief Minister at 4.30 pm on Monday. With this, he will become the Chief Minister of Bihar for the seventh time.
