Patna National secretary general of JD(U)  K C Tyagi on Thursday quoted senior BJP leader and former deputy chief minster Sushil Kumar Modi’s statement that Nitish Kumar was a PM material.

Talking to mediapersons here after the first meeting of the JD(U) national executive committee chaired  by party president and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, Tyagi said the Bihar CM had  never said he was PM material nor JD(U) had a resolution declaring Nitish as PM material or had projected him as PM in any election yet several senior leaders of the country including RJD president Lalu Prasad felt Nitish was PM material.
Tyagi said it was the leadership of Nitish which helped consolidate anti BJP votes in Bihar assembly elections. “Results of Bihar elections were not confined to the state only, but it had national impact as it proved only Nitish can lead anti -BJP forces. The RJD and Congress joined anti-BJP grand alliance under Nitish leadership,” Tyagi said. The JD(U) leader said Nitish was touring outside the state as JD(U) national president and not projecting himself as PM material. He will visit Mirzapur in UP on June 18 to address the workers of eastern UP.
The party executive dissolved all cells of the JD (U), Tyagi said. Arun Kumar Srivastva,party’s general secretary  has been appointed incharge of membership drive. Kaushlendra Kumar, party’s MP from Nalanda, was made treasurer of the party. Two senior Kisan leaders from UP:Vinod Dixit and Shekhar Singh, joined the JD(U) on the occasion. ;
