Nitish was left with no option, says Paswan

This is a good omen for Bihar,” Paswan said, who had fought the last Lok Sabha election in alliance with Prasad's RJD and drew a blank.

To questions on whether his party or NDA will try to form a government in Bihar now after the resignation of Nitish Kumar, Paswan said that he has “not applied his mind to it” as yet and it is for the state leaders of the alliance to take a call on it.

He, however, did not comment on the remarks of JD(U) president Sharad Yadav that Nitish Kumar's successor will be chosen tomorrow saying it was their “internal party matter.”

To questions about his demand of a ministerial berth in the upcoming BJP-led government at the Centre, he said he has “no demand” and joined NDA to support the policies and programmes of Narendra Modi.

Paswan also acknowledged Modi impact over polls in Bihar, where the NDA won 31 of the 40 Lok Sabha seats.
