Talking to journalists after the public hearing at JDU state headquarters, Madan Sahni said that if Nitish Kumar’s name has to be put forward then he should be put forward for the post of Prime Minister. Although he does not want any post, he has said this many times. Their aim is only to stop BJP. He said that without being declared the convenor, Nitish Kumar has fulfilled the responsibility of the convenor by uniting all the opposition parties.
Nitish Kumar should be PM face
CM Nitish Kumar is the most experienced leader in the India alliance. It is the result of his experience that all the opposition parties have united. Due to the development work done in Bihar, the image of Nitish Kumar as a development man has emerged across the country. Therefore, the people of the country also want Nitish Kumar to lead the country. Also, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Welfare Minister Ratnesh Sada said that even if Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is not made the convenor, JDU India will remain in the alliance.
CM’s face should be put forward for the betterment of India
Giving his personal suggestion, he said that for the betterment of India and to defeat BJP, Nitish Kumar’s face should be put forward. He should be made the convenor and should also be declared the face of PM. If this does not happen then BJP will come to power again. Taking a dig at the BJP, he said that there are some people who do not want to see people from the lower class occupying upper positions.
