Nitish Kumar: I do not claim Prime Minister Post for 2019 general elections.

Patna: In a press conference on Monday JDU leader who’s also Bihar’s CM, Nitish Kumar responded to the claim of the post of PM to the unity of the opposition, Congress allegations and the GST. Not only that, he also gave several suggestions to the Opposition to stand against BJP.

Nitish Kumar had cleared that he is not Prime Ministerial candidate for the 2019 general election. He also said that how can a local party like JDU can be the prime ministerial candidate.

Nitish Kumar: "The Opposition must have an agenda and the Congress is a big party. It is its job to set the agenda, an alternative narrative, a narrative that isn't reactive.
