Rajnath assures that Nitish-led govt will be in power after polls
RAMGARH (KAIMUR)/BETTIAH, Nov. 9 -- Refuting claims by Grand Alliance leaders that Nitish Kumar would not be the next chief minister in Bihar, defence minister Rajnath Singh said that the government led by Nitish Kumar will remain in power.
With a day left for campaigning to end for the second phae, two Union ministers and two BJP CMs campaigned in Bihar on Saturday.
Addressing an election rally in favour of BJP candidate Ashok Kumar Singh at Ramgarh on Saturday, Singh said that the NDA will form the government in Bihar with a two-thirds majority. The government led by Nitish Kumar will remain in power.

You know that he keeps roaming all over Bihar and is helping on behalf of the government and if any problem arises then he helps for that too. Apart from the work of the state, Bihar is progressing a lot with the cooperation of the central government," said Kumar, while addressing a rally in East Champaran district, while seeking votes for LJP(RV)'s Raju Tiwari for Govindganj seat....
