Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday, 5 September, rejected speculations about his prime ministerial ambitions as he met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Delhi, saying that he has no intentions of pitching himself as a candidate.
"There is a concerted effort to weaken regional parties. My effort is to unite the Opposition ahead of the General Elections. I have no intention of pitching myself as a prime ministerial candidate," Kumar said, as quoted by NDTV.
Kumar also expressed his gratitude for Congress' support to the Bihar government and discussed the strategy for the 2024 elections.
