RJD President Lalu Prasad gave a Roza Iftar Party in Patna on Friday, June 23. Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal United President Nitish Kumar also reached the party. On this occasion, Laloo Yadav welcomed Nitish Kumar and reconsideration the decision to support NDA candidate in the presidential election, but Nitish surprised everyone by saying that the UPA had given Bihar's daughter Meira Kumar the presidential election. Why did you stand up to defeat?

Nitish said that his party has decided to support NDA candidate Ramnath Kovind for the presidential election, with a lot of thinking and talking to party leaders.

Nitish said that this is neither a political issue nor a matter of political confrontation. He clarified that last time even his party had supported UPA candidate Pranab Mukherjee while staying in NDA.

Nitish said that we have already been independent and have taken the decision in this matter. However, in the name of Meira Kumar, he said that he personally respected Meira Kumar.

It is noteworthy that after making Meira Kumar the President's candidate of UPA in New Delhi on Thursday (June 22nd), Rashtriya Janata Dal President Lalu Prasad Yadav had said that he would go to Patna and explain Nitish Kumar that he would reconsider his decision.

Laloo Yadav had said that this would be historic mistake of Nitish Kumar.

Let us know that this time the Presidential election has become Dalit versus Dalit.

The NDA has nominated Ramnath Kovind, the Governor of Bihar, the UPA has fielded Bihar's daughter and former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar.

However, the victory of Ramnath Kovind is almost certain because in addition to NDA's constituent parties, they also have the support of JDU, BJD, AIADM (Shashikala group), AIADMK (Panierselwam group), YSR Congress, TDP, TRS.
