Patna: Came into alliance with BJP this year Nitish backs BJP in Gujarat polls. Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Monday said the people of a state from where PM Narendra Modi hails would not vote the other way. The BJP has no danger in Gujarat and it would win the assembly polls there.
“The PM hails from Gujarat. Do you think people of a state from where the PM hails, will vote the other way? Please try to understand the sentiments of people the state where from the PM hails. It is my own understanding that people of Gujarat will not vote against the party of their own PM and the BJP will succeed,” Nitish told reporters after his weekly ‘Lok Samvad’ programme here.
Nitish, who is also the JD(U) national president, further said he had made similar assessment about the BJP’s performance in Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. “What I had said about the BJP before the UP polls you all saw after the election results. Now it is my personal assessment about Gujarat polls. My own understanding says BJP will win in Gujarat,” he said.
