This is what Nitish Kumar said on the PM's 'secular' remark.

"The Prime Minister has said and I am (secular). His statement has given me peace," Kumar told media in Patna today. In the latest overture by the Congress to Nitish Kumar, Dr Singh on Monday described the Bihar Chief Minister as "a secular leader."

When asked if his party will seek a partnership with the Bihar Chief Minister, he responded, "In politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies; we decide as the situation evolves."

Kumar quit a 17-year alliance with the BJP on Sunday alleging that it is promoting divisive leader and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.  He also accused the saffron outfit of betraying and ignoring its own senior leaders.

For now, Nitish Kumar is not ruling out an alliance with the Congress.
