Reiterating that Nitish Kumar changed into Prime Minister material, the JDU on Monday asserted it turned into not staking claim to the highest seat of electricity for the Bihar chief minister but numbers might be no hassle if such a state of affairs arose.
A announcement to the impact was made with the aid of the party's parliamentary board leader Upendra Kushwaha, who testily brushed aside remarks by using a few leaders in the state BJP that one wished the support of 272 MPs to grow to be the PM, and that the JD(U) become not going to win as many seats on its very own.
Kyun nahin ho sakta hai (why no longer)? Turned into Kushwaha's curt respond when requested if Kumar were to purpose for the top post, could he be capable of muster the needful variety in view of the restricted reach of the JD(U), which has little presence outdoor Bihar.
The former Union minister, however, hastened to add we aren't creating a claim to the PM's put up at present. We are with the NDA and renowned the management of Narendra Modi. But, if people speak approximately a hypothetical future, then not anything may be brushed off as not possible.
Kushwaha had rekindled sentiments about Kumar being PM fabric a few weeks ago and the refrain got louder on the day before today whilst Mission Nitish have become the rallying cry on the JD(U) countrywide council meeting right here.
One of the resolutions exceeded at the occasion asserted that though no longer a claimant to the pinnacle submit, the chief had all the qualities for the same.
When I first spoke approximately Nitish Kumar being PM material, many of you scoffed at me. Now you could see it has came about often that I say something and it becomes a large sentiment afterward, Kushwaha said with a mischievous smile, referring to Sunday's happenings.
The idea of Kumar becoming the bill first won currency about a decade in the past and following his radical circulate of snapping ties with the BJP in 2013, he turned into widely visible as a secular alternative to the juggernaut unleashed via Narendra Modi.
The JD(U) de facto leader had, but, sought to make light of the utterances of Kushwaha who had parted ways seven years in the past to waft the RLSP, but again to the discern birthday celebration a few months in the past merging his outfit into it.
On Sunday, too, the chief minister refused to answer to queries of reporters who were eager to realize his take on the birthday party's projection of him as a veritable cult figure.
Kushwaha become also asked approximately the need for a coordination committee inside the NDA, which became careworn by way of JD(U) countrywide widespread secretary K C Tyagi on the day past.
I met Tyagi ji at my house this morning. The call for is right. There is a need for higher coordination, stated Kushwaha, whose reinduction into the JD(U) is being visible as Kumar's bid to consolidate his Kurmi-Koeri base following the birthday celebration's poor show within the assembly polls.
It is genuine that we're sharing electricity with the BJP for such a lot of years. Yet, it does no longer look exact when unique human beings in the identical celebration communicate in one-of-a-kind voices. Caste census is a case in point, remarked Kushwaha, who had these days sought to underscore inner struggle within the saffron party on the difficulty.
Second handiest to the BJP, in the NDA in Parliament, in phrases of numerical energy, the JD(U) has created ripples by using forcefully taking up the issue of non-inclusion of OBCs inside the census, after the Centre disclosed that it proposed to enumerate handiest the SCs and the STs.
The CM had recently met the PM, heading a delegation comprising legislators of all parties within the state with the plea that the Centre take into account their request.
The JD(U) countrywide council meet, among different matters, had also resolved to rally other states for the caste census call for, which has so far been maximum vociferous in Bihar where the OBCs have ruled the political scene for close to 3 decades.
