Gaya (Bihar) [India], February 22 (ANI): Stating that he was in “no hurry to become the chief minister,” Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday said their “ultimate goal is to eliminate the BJP by 2024.”
He also claimed that the Mahagathbandhan government is running smoothly under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
“I am not in a hurry to become CM, currently, Nitish Kumar is the Bihar CM and he is leading the Mahagadhbandan. Our ultimate goal is to eliminate BJP by 2024,” said Yadav.
When asked about former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi considering his son for the Chief Minister’s post, Yadav said “There is nothing wrong with it as every father wants his son to be successful. Don’t you want your son to be more successful than you?”

“He (CM Nitish Kumar) is the CM and we are working under his guidance. The only agenda he has right now is bringing all opposition together. He has no desire to become the Prime Minister,” said Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav. (ANI)
