Patna, Dec 23 (NationPress) The President of Bihar BJP, Dilip Jaiswal, has made it clear that the NDA will enter the electoral fray under the guidance of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the upcoming Assembly elections set for next year.
This announcement has put to rest recent rumors regarding a shift in leadership. The confirmation, made during the two-day core committee meeting of the Bihar BJP in Suraj Kund, Haryana, highlights the coalition's dedication to its existing leadership structure.
Nitish Kumar will be the face of the NDA campaign at the state level, alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi representing the national front. Jaiswal stated, "We will compete in the 2025 Assembly election in Bihar under Nitish Kumar's leadership."
Union Minister Giriraj Singh, Bihar's Environment and Forest Minister Prem Kumar, and other NDA leaders, including Hindustani Awam Morcha head Jitan Ram Manjhi, have openly endorsed Nitish Kumar as the Chief Ministerial candidate for the forthcoming elections.
This unified support from all five coalition partners establishes clarity and cohesiveness within the NDA and counters any confusion that may have arisen from earlier comments by BJP leaders, including Union Minister Amit Shah’s ambiguous statements.
Shah's earlier remarks regarding the selection of a CM candidate had ignited speculation about the BJP potentially reassessing Nitish Kumar's role.
The recent declarations, which followed a two-day BJP core committee meeting attended by prominent figures such as B.L. Santhosh and Vinod Tawde, have effectively resolved this ambiguity.
The BJP and its allies have devised a campaign centered on development.
The record of governance by Nitish Kumar, along with the accomplishments of the Central government under Prime Minister Modi, will be highlighted.
The NDA leaders have outlined plans to synchronize activities among coalition partners to ensure effective communication of their shared vision for the progress of Bihar.
The detailed discussions surrounding organizational matters and strategies for the Assembly polls during the core committee meeting reflect a proactive stance towards election readiness.
The BJP leaders are scheduled to hold a state board meeting in January.
A joint NDA workers' gathering will commence on January 15 to enhance coordination among alliance members and communicate the collective achievements of the state and Central governments directly to voters.
The reaffirmation of Nitish Kumar's leadership emphasizes the NDA's approach to preserving political stability while focusing on development as a central theme.
The coordinated outreach efforts and joint programs indicate a robust campaign strategy aimed at capitalizing on both Nitish Kumar's regional popularity and the BJP's national narrative.
