As suspense hangs over the fate of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s most trusted man in the BJP, Sushil Kumar Modi, who has served as his deputy for a major part of his tenure so far, the saffron party is likely to take the post of Speaker in the Bihar assembly. Kumar’s name for CM was announced at 1, Anney Marg, the Chief Ministers official residence, by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh who had been sent from Delhi as the “observer” for the BJP, which has returned with the highest number of seats in the NDA in the assembly elections. Nitish Kumar was unanimously elected as the NDA legislature party leader. Our MLAs Tarkishore Prasad and Renu Devi were respectively elected as the leader and deputy leader of the BJP legislature party”, Singh told reporters later. Kumar, who met Governor Phagu Chauhan along with leaders like BJP state president Sanjay Jaiswal to stake a claim for the formation of a new government, said the swearing in would take place “tomorrow, between 4 and 4.30 pm”.
