Taking a dig at Nitish Kumar’s possible launch as the prime ministerial candidate in 2024, BJP minister Smriti Irani said in Patna that there are “many aspirations” for the top post but there is only one “pradhan sevak Narendra Modi”.
During the launch of a book titled ‘Modi@20 Sapne Hue Sakar’ on Sunday, Irani said Modi was being targeted by those who once needed his support to form the government. “Such political opponents have limited scope but still have the aspiration to grab power…”, Irani was quoted by HT.
He said that the party would work to change the government in Bihar. BJP Bihar in-charge Vinod Tawde, who was present in the program, said that the party will strengthen the organization in the state.
Irani also made a veiled reference to corruption in the Bihar government and the recent Begusarai firing in which one person was killed and several others were injured.
Nitish Kumar broke ties last month, accusing the BJP of breaking the JD(U) and retained the government in alliance with the RJD, Congress and the Left.
The Bihar chief minister had said earlier this month that he was neither a contender for the prime minister’s post nor does he wish to. Kumar told reporters after meeting CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury and CPI general secretary D Raja at their party offices that it is time for the Left, Congress and all regional parties to form a united opposition.
“I have had a long association with the CPI(M) since childhood. You all have not seen me, but whenever I used to come to Delhi, I used to come to this office. We were separated but today we are together again. Our entire focus is on uniting all Left parties, regional parties and Congress. If we all come together it will be a big deal.
