07 June 2024 Punjab Khabarnama : As the leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) gathered at Parliament to officially name Narendra Modi as the leader of the alliance, Janta Dal United (U) chief and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar pledged his support, saying that he and his party would always be with the government.
“It is a very good thing that all of us have come together and we will all work together with you (PM Modi). You will be taking oath as the Prime Minister on Sunday, but I wanted you to do it today itself. Whenever you take the oath, we will be with you… We will all work together under your leadership,” he said.
The Bihar CM, during his speech, also hit out at the Opposition, saying that they had done nothing for the country and the state. “The Opposition has done nothing. I feel that the next time you (Modi) come back to power, they will not win any of the seats they did this time.”
At the meeting, senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh proposed Narendra Modi’s name as the leader of the NDA Parliamentary Party, that was seconded by his party colleagues Amit Shah and Nitin Gadkari as well as top NDA leaders.
