Nitish Kumar Vice President

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(U) on Monday accused its former national vice president Prashant Kishor of working "on behalf of the BJP" and wondered about the source of funding for his much publicised 'Jan Suraaj' campaign.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has rejected claims by BJP MP and his former deputy Sushil Kumar Modi that some people in Mr Kumar's party gave feelers to nominate the Chief Minister for the Vice President's post.

Some people in Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's party wanted him to become Vice President, BJP MP Sushil Kumar Modi told reporters today.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday announced that his Janata Dal (United) will support NDA candidate Jagdeep Dhankhar in the upcoming vice presidential election.

The man seen as Nitish Kumar's top aide, Prashant Kishor, has now created a new point of hostility with the BJP by suggesting that the Janata Dal United or JDU, the party of which he is Vice President, should get more seats than its partner in the state elections due next year.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday said he had no idea about the role his party's vice president Prashant Kishor will play for his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee who has signed up as the election strategist in the face of a growing challenge from the BJP.

JDU national vice president Prashant Kishor said on Monday that Narendra Modi would return as the Prime Minister after Lok Sabha polls and though Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was "a big leader in the NDA" it was "unfair" to view him as a claimant for the top post, even in the event of the BJP not getting a clear mandate.

The student elections in Patna University became a flashpoint today between the Bihar BJP and its ally, Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United, in which party vice president Prashant Kishor allegedly bore the brunt of the BJP attack. The BJP did not name Mr Kishor, but its press release attacking the police, the administration and "certain event manageme...

Janata Dal (United) president Nitesh Kumar on Tuesday appointed Prashant Kishor as the party's vice president, effectively making him the second most powerful person in the party.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar would've racked up considerable brownie points with the BJP on Monday when, in a span of about 45 minutes, he backed his new ally on an array of issues, including its attack on his old ally and the Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for his recent comments at a US University about dynastic politics in India.

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, pitching for a united opposition to take on the BJP, at a meeting hosted by Sharad Yadav, who is recently estranged from Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal (United) boss Nitish Kumar over his alliance with the BJP.

It was a busy Friday as Prime Minister Narendra Modi met old allies and new, and potential partners too, all in Delhi for the oath ceremony of Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu. He was also in the Rajya Sabha, warmly welcoming Mr Naidu as Chairman of the Upper House of Parliament.

For the approaching election of Vice President, Nitish Kumar will stick to his new pattern of supporting the candidate of the team he is not playing for. In this case, Gopalkrishna Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi's grandson, who is the nominee of the opposition and not the BJP, with whom Mr Kumar runs his government in Bihar as of last week.

Rahul Gandhi today did not hold back as he accused Nitish Kumar of planning his big turnaround for power and selfish gains. "The problem with Indian politics is that people will do anything for selfish gains... Satta ke liye kuch bhi kar dete hain (they do anything for power)," the Congress Vice President told reporters.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday nudged Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi to take a stand on corruption charges against Lalu Yadav's son and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav and get him to step down. Mr Kumar has not set a clear deadline but sources said the Chief Minister is keen that a decision on the 28-year-old Deputy Chief Minister is...
