January 01, 2020 22:20

Let bygones be bygones, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi said on Wednesday hoping that in the New Year, 'bitterness, ill-will and mistrust' caused by his recent exchanges with Prashant Kishor will fade away ahead of the assembly elections in the state.

The senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader, who was receiving guests at his residence on the occasion of New Year, also hoped that the people of the state will vote for the National Democratic Alliance in assembly polls with the same enthusiasm as was evident in the Lok Sabha polls wherein the coalition won 39 out of 40 seats.

"May the New Year bring peace and prosperity to the people of Bihar who give their blessings to NDA just like they had done in the parliamentary elections last year," Modi said when asked by journalists what message he would like to give on the day.

Flanked by a large number of cabinet and party colleagues, supporters and officials, Modi who returned from a day-long vacation at Chennai where one of his son lives celebrated the New Year by cutting a sumptuous cake with an icing that read '2020'.

Polls are due in Bihar in 2020.

When asked about the bitterness in the wake of his veiled attack on Kishor and the latter's strongly worded riposte to the same, Modi said 'jo baat beet gayee so beet gayee (let bygones be bygones)'.

He also hoped that 'katuta (bitterness), dwesh (ill-will) and avishwas (mistrust)' in the NDA camp would fade away. -- PTI
