Nitish Kumar wants to be the prime minister. But it is not possible because the position of the prime minister is not vacant.

Narendra Modi is going to take that position again. This alliance is taking Bihar back to Jungle Raj. Through appeasement, they are handing over Bihar to such elements that will not let Bihar be secure..." Apart from this, Shah also raked up Bihar cabinet minister Chandra Shekhar's controversial remarks on Ramcharitmanas and DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin's remarks on ‘Sanatana Dharma’.

"People of this alliance disrespect Ramcharitmanas... cancel holidays on Rakshandhan and Janmashtami. They relate Sanatana Dharma to a number of diseases.

All they can do is appeasement..., The opposition alliance opposed construction of the Ram temple," Shah said. Among other things, the Home Minister claimed that the NDA will win all 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar in the 2024 elections and break the 2019 record. "We won 39 seats in 2019, this time round we will break all records and win all 40 seats," he said.
