Bihar Chief Minister and

's Sarva Sarva Nitish Kumar has decided to support BJP's choice of former Jharkhand Governor Draupadi Murmu this time on the issue of Presidential election.

This was announced by the party's national president Rajiv Ranjan alias Lalan Singh in Patna.

Rajiv Ranjan alias Lalan Singh, while talking to reporters at the party office in Patna, said that party supremo Nitish Kumar has taken this decision on the basis that Murmu is not only born in a poor family, but Nitish ji is in principle responsible for women empowerment and society. Dedicated to the oppressed classes.

However, Nitish's supporters also believe that if it is a matter of women's empowerment, then why did they oppose the candidature of Meira Kumar, the daughter of Bihar, who came from Dalit society in the last presidential election?

Nitish, who is currently upset with his ruling ally BJP, does not want to support Yashwant Sinha, the opposition candidate on this issue.

The main reason behind this is Yashwant Sinha's always aggressive and critical attitude towards Nitish Kumar and his government in the last few years.

Nitish never likes Yashwant Sinha by nature.

If the BJP leaders in Bihar are to be believed, they were not too concerned about Nitish Kumar's decision because they knew that going against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision this time was a risk of putting his chair at stake. I don't want to give up the chair.

They know that their decision will give them some relief for the time being.
