Nitish Kumar: no ambition to be India's Prime Minister

After he quit the alliance with the BJP in Bihar, chief minister Nitish Kumar Friday has said that he has no aspirations of becoming the Opposition’s prime ministerial face.

“I say this with folded hands, I have no such thoughts…My work is to work for everyone,” he told news agency ANI. “I will make an effort to see that all the Opposition parties work together. If they do, it will be good.”

Earlier this week, the Bihar chief minister ended his party’s alliance with the BJP and was sworn in once again as CM, with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as his deputy. Asked whether he will be acting on Yadav’s promise of creating 10 lakh jobs in the state, Nitish said: “What he has said is right. All efforts will be made for it.”
