JD(U) MP Sanjay Jha, a confidant of party president and Bihar Chief🦩 Minister Nitish Kumar, on Saturday junked his party spokesperson K C Tyagi's claim that the opposition INDIA bloc had proposed to make Kumar its prime ministerial choice after the Lok Sabha poll result.
Tyagi earlier created a stir with his claim that Kumar was offered the post if ꧂he broke alliance with the BJP. The JD(U), however, rejected the proposal and endorsed Narendra Modi as the nex🐽t prime minister, he said.
Hours later, Jha🤪 rejected the asse📖rtion of the seasoned leader of his own party.
He said, "Our party has no such information. Nor is the chie🌠f minister aware of all this. I want to make it clear. There is no such thing in our knowওledge."
Kumar had categorical endorsed Modi at the meeting of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, Jha said, noting that it was a pre-poll alliance which won 30 of the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar.
Tyagi has said thos൲e who did not want to make Kumar convener of their alliance offered to make him prime minister but he is happy that the party leadership rejected the offer.
