Nitish Kumar says he has support of Jagan

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has hinted about a possible new front against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his BJP. Nitish already pulled off a rare combination of Mahaghatbandhan in Bihar with his once arch rival Lalu Prasad Yadav and Congress.

Nitish told national media that he will be leading a new front against Narendra Modi if he happens to win Bihar elections. He claims that he has the support of former Prime Minister Deve Gowda and Jagan Reddy of Andhra Pradesh.

With Congress on his side, Nitish may be targeting a bigger role at the central role. It is known that Nitish Kumar earlier harboured the aspiration of becoming Prime Minister. He ditched NDA after they announced Modi as Prime Minister candidate before the last elections.
