Have done this many times, not nervous: Nitish

November 08, 2015 09:01

As the JDU lead grand alliance trails (BJP+ 63, JDU+ 34), Bihar CM Nitish Kumar said he wasn't nervous. He told NDTV, "Ab nervous kya hona (why be nervous now)? I have done this many times." Nitish is the chief ministerial candidate of the Grand Alliance, which combines his party, the Janata Dal United, with Lalu Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress.

He is running for a third consecutive term in a bitterly fought contest that placed Prime Minister Narendra Modi leading the Bharatiya Janata Party's campaign. Modi held nearly 30 rallies in Bihar.
