Elections can be held before time, says Bihar CM Nitish Kumar

Nitish Kumar, Chief Minister of Bihar and leader of the JD(U), stated on Friday that Lok Sabha elections could be held ahead of schedule. As a result, we must all remain cautious.

“Elections (Lok Sabha) can be held before time. So, we all have to remain alert and all the internal communications have been done,” Nitish Kumar said after the INDIA alliance meeting.

He further said that the “Parties are working together unitedly. So, as a result of this, those who are at the Centre will lose. They will go away. Be assured.”

“You (media) are captive right now. Once you are free from them, you – the press – will be liberated and you will write and speak what you think is correct. This is very important…They want to alter the history of the country. Together, we will not allow them to do this,” he added.

Earlier, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said that a resolution has been passed and four main committees have been formed. “We have passed some important resolutions too. INDIA Alliance Coordination Committee – a 14-member committee – has been structured,” Raut said.

The 14- member Coordination Committee and Election Strategy Committee includes:
