Bihar chief minister and JDU president Nitish Kumar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday in the national capital. This was the first meeting between the two leaders after Kumar left the INDIA bloc and took oath as the NDA chief minister on January 28.

Later, Kumar also met Union home minister Amit Shah and BJP national president JP Nadda.

“We (BJP and JDU) have been together since 1995. I switched sides on two occasions. But now I will not go anywhere and stay with BJP,” Kumar told media persons after the meeting.
On seat-sharing for the Lok Sabha elections, he said that the leaders of both parties were aware of it.

Kumar’s meeting and visit to New Delhi has come ahead of the trust vote in the Bihar assembly on February 12. Sources told ET that a discussion on seat-sharing and Bihar assembly Speaker is likely to take place at a later stage. BJP is going to get the Speaker post as per the agreement between the two parties. A Cabinet expansion is also planned after the trust vote.
