A day after his meeting with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar set off speculations, BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha on Sunday swore allegiance to his party but maintained nobody knows what future has in store.
“I met Nitish Kumar late last night at his residence as I have personal and family relationship with him. We have been meeting very often in the past too so why so much of hullaballo on this meetingIJ” Sinha told reporters. He had met Kumar hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the state, triggering speculations about the Patna Sahib MP’s future in BJP.
“Nitish Kumar is like my elder brother and we have a deal that whenever I am in Patna we will meet at least once,” Sinha, who is believed to be unhappy over his non-inclusion in the Modi government, said, adding people were trying to make a “mountain out of mole hill”.
Defending his praise for Kumar, he said “After all he is a talented and qualified Chief Minister of Bihar and I am Bihari Babu.”
