Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who is completing his fourth term, will complete his five-year term and was “going nowhere”, senior leaders of his party Janata Dal (United) asserted on Friday.
More than one top JD(U) leader came out with clarifications a day after a rumor mill explained an off-the-cuff remark by Kumar during an informal interaction with journalists.
Speculations were started by Kumar in the context of the Rajya Sabha being the only house of which he has not been a member.

In another tweet, he said, “I urge everyone to stay away from this kind of propaganda, which will be of little benefit.”
Jha did not blame anyone in particular for the campaign, though the strongly worded statement came a day after a section of the media claimed that Kumar was ready to quit and that his ally in power, the BJP, should be its chief minister in Bihar. Had to let it happen.

Had given.
The NDA was able to form, and eventually garnered a wafer-thin majority only after Modi cleared the air in rally after rally.
