PATNA, Oct. 18 -- The JD(U) on Friday hit back at the opposition for trying to plant stories and read home minister Amit Shah's statement that "legislators will elect CM after polls" between the lines to twist it to their suiting. The minister had made the statement on a channel on Thursday while replying to the question of "whether Nitish will be CM after polls". The JD(U) said the opposition was deviating attention from "imminent NDA poll victory. under CM Nitish Kumar". Shah also called on the chief minister along with Union minister and Bihar in-charge Dharmendra Pradhan earlier in the day before heading for Saran. "The two leaders also held a meeting to discuss the election campaign for the Bihar Assembly elections. Both leaders will be campaigning from today. NDA has never had any internal issues, and the opposition is trying to plant false stories, but we are united. Once the campaign picks up the pace, we will all be seen together. The Union Home Minister has made it clear many times that Nitish Kumar is the face of the NDA, and we will contest this election under his leadership," said JD(U) working president Sanjay Jha. Jha said that there was never any confusion in the NDA and there would be none in future too. "Many stories were floating around about seats, but everything was smooth and done before time, while in the opposition camp everything was in disarray. Symbols are being snatched, tickets are stuck and so they want to distract the people to hide their own problems, which will only grow with time due to signs of NDA sweep," he added. Shah's meeting with Nitish Kumar was significant as on Thursday during a TV program, Shah had said in response to a question if Nitish Kumar would be made the CM that a decision on the chief minister would be taken after the Assembly elections in the meeting of the elected legislators. "Who am I to make anyone CM?" he asked. However, HAM-S leader Jitan Ram Manjhi, who is an NDA ally, said if Shah has said something, that would be treated as an official statement. "But I personally feel that the CM's face should be clear before election and there should be no room for ambiguity," he added. Manjhi, who was earlier upset with the seat sharing deal in which Chirag Paswan's LJP-R got 29 seats and he just six, said that in the Opposition even seats could not be finalised so far due to lack of policy and ideology. "In NDA, fortunately everything is fine so far. The CM had expressed his resentment when one party fielded a candidate on JD-U's seat, but now everything is fine. But I personally feel it should be clear before the election who will be the next CM," he said. JD(U) spokesman Neeraj Kumar said Shah had clearly stated that NDA would go into the 2025 Bihar election under Nitish Kumar's leadership and there was no ambiguity about it. "He just narrated the procedure of how a CM is elected after election results are announced. It is a natural process. Nitish Kumar is the the top most leader of the country and heads an important constituent of the alliance. All the leaders of our party and more importantly want to see Nitish Kumar as the next CM in 2025 and there is no room for any ambiguity on it," he added....
