Senior BJP leader and previous Union Minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey on Thursday articulated a “personal” viewpoint that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar needs to be made the Deputy Prime Minister.
Talking to press reporters in Bihar, the BJP leader, that had actually offered in Kumar’s Cabinet prior to relocating to the Centre, stated he wished to see the JD( U) supremo as the 2nd Deputy PM from Bihar, after the late Jagjivan Ram.
“Nitish Kumar’s payment to the NDA is significant. He has actually been enhancing the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by playing the function of a support in the union. It is my individual desire that he be made the Deputy Prime Minister,” he stated.
“If the wish is granted, Bihar will see the second son of its soil, after Babu Jagjivan Ram, rising to the office”, stated Choubey.

The statements can be found in the background of conjectures in an area of the media that the 74-year-old JD( U) supremo, that intends to compete a 5th successive term in setting up surveys due later on this year, might be supplied an “honourable exit” by the BJP, which was fed up with playing 2nd fiddle to Kumar in Bihar.
BJP leaders like the late Sushil Kumar Modi have actually also asserted that Kumar had actually wished to end up being the Vice President and stop the NDA, in 2022, in objection versus not being thought about for the top Constitutional message.

However, statements of Choubey that was refuted a ticket in in 2014’s Lok Sabha surveys, were played down by the JD( U) along with the resistance event RJD.

“Of course, the BJP wants to get rid of Nitish Kumar. But Choubey should realise that the CM’s chair will be occupied by our leader Tejashwi Yadav. All BJP leaders may daydream about the highest seat of power in Bihar,”
