New NDA govt to work under Nitish’s guidance: Samrat

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Friday asserted that the new NDA Government in the State will continue to function under the guidance of Nitish Kumar, who is slated to relinquish the chief minister’s post after being elected to the Rajya Sabha. Choudhary, a senior BJP leader, made the remarks in Saharsa district while accompanying Kumar during the ‘Samridhi Yatra’. Showering praise on the State’s longest-serving chief minister, Choudhary said, “Bihar owes a lot to Nitish Kumar, who took charge shortly after the creation of Jharkhand, which had deprived the state of more than 80 per cent of its revenue.”
