Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s leadership during a meeting with MPs from the Janata Dal (United) on Thursday. Modi expressed his appreciation for Kumar’s role in steering Bihar towards development. He mentioned that their parties have a long history of collaborating to combat poor governance, corruption, and criminal activities in the state.

Our parties have a long history of working together and fighting poor governance, corruption, and criminalization in Bihar. The leadership of Nitish Kumar Ji has taken Bihar on the path of development. We will keep working together for good governance.”
The Janata Dal (United), with 12 MPs in the Lok Sabha, is the second-largest ally of the BJP.

The collaborative efforts between BJP and its allies like JD(U) and TDP aim to address issues such as corruption and criminalization while promoting good governance and development.
In conclusion, Modi’s acknowledgment of Nitish Kumar’s leadership and the continued cooperation between their parties highlight the importance of strong political alliances in achieving developmental goals and ensuring effective governance in Bihar and beyond.
