Bihar polls: Is this BJP's chief ministerial candidate?

October 12, 2015 13:23

As the first of the five-phase elections in Bihar started, BJP's star campaigner, Shanawaz Hussain, announced that the party's veteran lawmaker from Gaya, Dr Prem Kumar, will be the chief minister if the NDA comes to power in the state. The statement was a departure from tradition for the party, which rarely announces its chief ministerial candidate in advance.

"I request you to vote in large numbers and return your legislator Prem Kumar, who will be the Chief Ministerial candidate for the state. He will be the chief minister of the state if the NDA comes to power," said Hussain, a senior leader and former Union minister of the party.
