When Nitish Kumar was asked whether he will miss Sushil Modi and ‘YES’ is what the Bihar CM replied.
“It is the decision of the BJP to not field Sushil Modi as the Deputy Chief Minister. They should be asked about this,”
Nitish Kumar said.
Along with Kumar, BJP’s Tarkishore Prasad and Renu Devi were sworn-in as Deputy Chief Ministers today.
On the other hand, the opposition, Chirag Paswan and Tejashwi Yadav gave taunting remarks while congratulating the elected CM Nitish Kumar. Saying that he was sending a copy of the LJP’s Manifesto to let Kumar work on some of the promises made in it to saying that he should look forward to prioritize aspirations of the Bihar citizens rather than aiming at the position’s ambitions, Paswan and Yadav tweeted to Kumar, respectively.
4 लाख बिहारीयों द्वारा बनाया गया #बिहार1stबिहारी1st विजन डॉक्यूमेंट आप को भेज रहा हूँ ताकी उसमें से भी जो कार्य आप पुरा कर सकें वह कर दें। एक बार पुनः आप को मुख्यमंत्री बनने की और भारतीय जनता पार्टी को आप को मुख्यमंत्री बनाने के लिए बधाई।https://t.co/kZvjg56fRZ

आदरणीय श्री नीतीश कुमार जी को मुख्यमंत्री ‘मनोनीत’ होने पर शुभकामनाएँ। आशा करता हूँ कि कुर्सी की महत्वाकांक्षा की बजाय वो बिहार की जनाकांक्षा एवं NDA के 19 लाख नौकरी-रोजगार और पढ़ाई, दवाई, कमाई, सिंचाई, सुनवाई जैसे सकारात्मक मुद्दों को सरकार की प्राथमिकता बनायेंगे।
