Choudhary’s remarks came after Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent interview to a news channel in which he was asked if the NDA could go to the polls in Bihar without declaring a chief ministerial candidate, like it recently did with great success in Maharashtra. Shah, a former BJP president who is still regarded as the party’s principal strategist, had replied after a pause, “We will sit together and decide. We will let you know after we have made a decision.” This ambiguous response had fuelled speculations that the BJP might reconsider projecting Kumar as its leader in the 2025 elections.Dispelling doubts, Choudhary said, “The NDA is working under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bihar, and we will continue to contest elections under the leadership of both leaders.”
