PATNA - The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has agreed to the request of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar not to permit Gujarat Chief Minister Narender Modi to tour Bihar for the election campaign.
“The BJP has conceded to the request of Nitish Kumar, that all the BJP position holders, who have in the past tarnished their profile, by loud mouthing communal poison against the Muslims, must not be allowed to enter Bihar, from now until the polling date,” reports politicsparty.com.
The BJP has also agreed to project Nitish Kumar as the next Chief Minister of Bihar.
“Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has succeeded in forcing the BJP to unconditionally project him as the Chief Minister of the Janata Dal (U)-BJP coalition in the November 2010 Assembly elections,” reports politicsparty.com. (ANI)
