Gopalganj, Jan 4 (Reporter) Within three days after the offer from RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav to join the Grand Alliance again, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday reiterated that he would not desert BJP and remain solidly in NDA. Kumar during his " Pragati Yatra ", while addressing a meeting of officials in Gopalganj, said he had committed a mistake on two occasions by joining hands with RJD to form the Grand Alliance government in Bihar. Now, he would not desert the BJP and remain solidly in NDA, he asserted. Chief Minister was directing the authorities to take all required steps for redressal of the grievances of elected representatives who met him during the Yatra and raised issues of public importance. He also listed various government schemes launched by his government to assist people in various sectors including health, education, and welfare. Communal disturbances which were often reported during the previous regime before 2005, had become things of the past, and rule of law had been established in the state, he added. RJD supremo Lalu Prasad had offered Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to join the Grand Alliance again and work together. If Kumar returned to Grand Alliance, he would forgive all mistakes committed by him in the past, Lalu had declared. Leader of opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, had however, tried to downplay it, saying such a statement was given by Lalu to calm down the intense queries being made by media persons on the issue. The offer of Lalu has generated much heat in political circles as various sorts of speculations are doing rounds over new political equations in Bihar in the new year which is also an election year, as the state assembly election is slated for October-November later this year...////...
