'Bihar CM seat not empty': Shah confirms Nitish Kumar's post
What's the story
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has made it clear that Nitish Kumar will continue as the chief minister of Bihar if the ruling alliance wins. "Bihar mein na CM ka pad khali hain aur Delhi mein PM ka pad khali hai...yahan Nitish Kumar hain, aur Lalu ji, Sonia ji, wahan PM Modi hain (neither the CM post in Bihar nor the PM's seat in Delhi is vacant. Nitish Kumar is here and Lalu, Sonia, PM Modi there)," Shah said.
