Tejashwi, who has openly given a chance to Lalu's Nitish Kumar, also expressed his desire to form the government.
After the declaration of Lok Sabha election results, the buzz about government formation has increased. A series of meetings has started from Patna to Delhi. Ahead of the meeting to be held in Delhi this evening, a meeting was held at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's residence in Patna. The meeting was attended by many JDU leaders including Chirag Paswan of LJP Ramvilas. Meanwhile, offers started pouring in for Nitish Kumar too. RJD chief Abdul Bari Siddiqui made a big statement. Nitish Kumar has said that he has to take a tough decision. Siddiqui said Chief Minister Nitish must unite to stop BJP. Tejashwi Yadav, on the other hand, claimed that the BJP had lost its majority. India should take the initiative to form a coalition government. At the Congress press conference yesterday, Rahul Gandhi did not give any concrete answer to the question about government formation. BJP lost majority – Tejashwi had said he would first talk to all the parties in the alliance and then say something. But today Tejashwi Yadav talked about forming a government. “Our performance is very good,” said the former deputy chief minister of Bihar. The Indian Alliance has the blessings of Lord Rama. BJP has lost majority. Now it depends on the partners. We are happy that our efforts have been successful. Our hope is that whatever new government is formed, special status should be given to Bihar. People have given mandate to NDA – Chirag On the other hand, after the meeting held at Nitish's house, Chirag Paswan said that people have given mandate to NDA. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has worked to strengthen our alliance, on the one hand, much credit goes to PM Modi for NDA's performance in Bihar, and on the other hand, credit goes to my Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Today I and all the MPs of my party came to meet him, thank him, congratulate him and seek his blessings. The Chief Minister also congratulated and blessed him wholeheartedly. We are all going to Delhi today to form the next government.
