Bihar CM Nitish Kumar calls for Opposition unity, says BJP will go below 100 seats in 2024 Lok Sabha Elections

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has called for Opposition unity before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and stressed that the BJP will go below 100 seats if his allies take his advice. The Chief Minister of Bihar gave the address at the General Convention of CPI-M in Patna where several Congress leaders were also in attendance.

Bihar CM in his speech, while indirectly addressing the leaders of the Congress, asked the party to take a swift decision and further added and said that if the Opposition parties take his advice and join hands, the Opposition will able to defeat the BJP and also claimed that BJP will go below 100 seats.

Kumar, however, also added and raised a caveat by saying that if the opposition doesn’t join hands, they know what will happen, implying that the result will likely be favorable to the BJP.

The call and the urge to unify the Opposition against the BJP by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar adds to his previous efforts to form a grand alliance of the Opposition parties in order to unseat the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections. Last year Nitish Kumar jumped ships and allianced by crossing BJP as he went on to form a JDU-RJD-led Government in Bihar.

While speaking at the 11th General Convention in Patna, Kumar also said that he is not eyeing to become the Prime Minister and also said that he neither believes that he is a contender for the post. He also said that his only ambition is to unify the country and liberate the country from spreading hatred.

He also said that he really doesn’t want anything and promised the opposition allies that he and his party will stand with them.

The event was also attended by Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, Congress leader Salman Khurshid, and former Chief Minister of Bihar Jitan Ram Manjhi.
