Patna (Bihar) [India], June 7 (ANI): Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) leader Nagmani on Thursday said that Nitish Kumar is not the only Chief Ministerial candidate from Bihar, and demanded that RLSP leader Upendra Kushwaha be considered as the chief ministerial candidate for the state.
He said, "If NDA has to win big in Lok Sabha elections and assembly elections in Bihar then Upendra Kushwaha(RLSP Chief) has to be the CM. We are not against Nitish Kumar, but in today's circumstances NDA can't win with Nitish as face."
