We are contesting polls under leadership of Nitish Kumar: Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh

Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh confirms NDA will fight Bihar Assembly elections under CM Nitish Kumar, dismissing leadership speculation as negative propaganda.

"Home Minister said thrice that we are contesting the Bihar Election 2025 under the leadership of Nitish Kumar - Rajiv Ranjan Singh"

Patna, October 29

Ahead of the first phase of polling for the Bihar Assembly elections, Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh on Wednesday once again reiterated that the NDA alliance will contest the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Speaking to reporters, he sought to put a stop to rumours of leadership disputes within the NDA alliance, calling attempts to create controversy "negative propaganda".

Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh said, "Home Minister said thrice that we are contesting the Bihar Election 2025 under the leadership of Nitish Kumar...He said that in 2020, Nitish Kumar didn't want to be the CM. But PM called him up and insisted on the same; he did become the CM. This time too, he has said that we are contesting elections under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. CM will be elected by the Legislative Party...Those who want to stoke unnecessary controversy over this are doing negative propaganda."

This statement came after Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) National President Mukesh Sahni, who is also part of Mahagathbandhan, said that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar cannot be given the responsibility of the state, as he is struggling with health issues. He also urged voters to give young politicians a chance to take over.

"There is a wave of change in the entire state. In 2005, people felt he should be given a chance... In 2010, he indeed did development in the state. In 2015, he became CM with Lalu Yadav's support because he had nothing of his own. In 2020, he somehow became CM with the support of the BJP and VIP... We don't have any complaints from him, but since he is unwell, he cannot be given the responsibility of the entire state's population," he said.

Earlier, Janata Dal (United) leader Arun Kumar on Tuesday expressed confidence that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will secure a two-thirds majority, asserting that the people of Bihar prefer a government focused on positivity and development.

Speaking to ANI, Arun Kumar said the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar caravan should keep moving.

"The feeling of the masses is that people with positive mentality and development in their minds should continue to stay in the government. The caravan of PM Modi and Nitish Kumar should keep moving. The NDA is going to get a 2/3rd majority in the elections," Arun Kumar said.

While I respect Nitish ji's contributions, maybe it's time for fresh leadership. Bihar needs younger, more energetic leaders who can address current challenges like unemployment and education.

As someone who has lived in Patna for 5 years, I've seen the positive changes under Nitish Kumar's leadership. The roads are better, women feel safer, and development is visible. Stability is important for continued progress.

Health concerns about any leader should be taken seriously. We need someone who can work full capacity for Bihar's development. Maybe a smooth transition plan would be better for the state's future.

The NDA alliance showing unity is crucial. All this internal politics and speculation only benefits the opposition. Let's focus on development agenda rather than leadership debates.
