NCP disapproves projection of Nitish as PM candidate

Patna, Aug 14 (UNI) Amid statements of JD (U) leaders projecting Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as the PM candidate of the opposition in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, NCP on Sunday clarified that elected MPs of opposition parties would decide PM candidate after parliamentary elections in 2024.
Vice president of Bihar unit of NCP Navin Kumar Singh said here on Sunday that JD(U) leaders were not losing time in projecting Chief Minister Kumar as PM candidate of the opposition in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, since a new Grand Alliance government, was formed in Bihar after Nitish snapped ties with BJP and walked out from NDA to join hands with RJD. How could JD(U) leaders on their own project Kumar as PM candidate of opposition, he asked.
" NCP president Sharad Pawar has wider acceptability as PM among all opposition parties at national level while Nitish Kumar is not so acceptable outside Bihar", Singh said adding that Pawar was tipped as a common candidate of the opposition for recently held Presidential elections but he had refused the offer. Pawar could have accepted the offer had the ruling BJP and its allies also supported him as he was in favour of keeping Presidential elections above party politics, he stressed.
