As his party asserted that he must be the face of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar for the 2019 national polls, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar deftly side-stepped questions at an Iftar party on Monday evening.
“This is a special occasion in which I want to see happiness on all faces. Please do not ask about any other face right now,” Mr Kumar, the chief of the Janata Dal United, quipped to reporters at his Iftar.
His deputy Sushil Kumar Modi, a senior Bihar BJP leader who was also at the Iftar, had said earlier that the NDA would seeks votes in the name of Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s works.
