Nitish Skips Chennai Visit Because Of Ill Health, Says Key Aide

바카라The chief minister took ill. Sudden physical illness can afflict anybody. He informed the Tamil Nadu CM and other people concerned,바카라 Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary told reporters here.

Ill health forced Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to cancel his scheduled visit to Chennai on Tuesday, where he was invited by his Tamil Nadu counterpart MK Stalin, a key aide of the JD(U) leader said.

However, Tejashwi Yadav, the deputy chief minister who was also invited, has left for the southern state.

바카라The chief minister took ill. Sudden physical illness can afflict anybody. He informed the Tamil Nadu CM and other people concerned,바카라 Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary told reporters here.

Kumar and Yadav were invited to the inauguration of some initiatives of the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu in memory of M Karunanidhi, a former chief minister and ex-president of the party, who was also the father of Stalin.

Yadav has left for Chennai along with Sanjay Kumar Jha, Bihar's minister for water resources and information and public relations department.

Chaudhary, who was talking to reporters at the JD(U)'s state headquarters, asserted that the June 23 meeting of opposition leaders which Kumar, the party's supreme leader, has convened, was 바카라a matter of pride for the state바카라.

바카라Bihar once again finds itself at the epicentre of a political churn which will have national ramifications,바카라 said Chaudhary, who also made light of the BJP's contention that the 바카라united opposition바카라 lacked cohesiveness and would not be able to agree upon a 바카라face바카라.

바카라The BJP should remember that it has been part of experiments in the past when different parties have come together to upstage the ruling dispensation and the leader has been chosen after attaining the objective. The same will happen this time,바카라 asserted the JD(U) leader.

Reacting to the BJP's repeated assertion that there was 바카라no vacancy for the prime minister's post바카라 in 2024, Chaudhary said the saffron party felt the same way in 2004 when, under the leadership of the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee, it ended up tasting defeat.

바카라Let there be no doubts, a vacancy will be created at the June 23 meeting. There is a growing consensus among parties and the people that if all those who are opposed to the BJP come together, the behemoth can be bundled out for 100 seats or less,바카라 he claimed.

He was also asked whether AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi and BSP supremo Mayawati, both of whom claim to be opposed to the BJP but are often accused of being in cahoots by others, were approached for the meeting.

Chaudhary replied: 바카라Why do you ask about those who are on their way to political oblivion? Please do focus on those who are going to come. You will realise all those who matter are joining us in the mission바카라.

Leaders of close to 20 parties have given their assent to attend the meeting. These include at least three chief ministers - Stalin, Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal and Arvind Kejriwal of Delhi.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and president Mallikarjun Kharge will also be flying down to attend the meeting besides a number of other leaders such as Sharad Pawar, Akhilesh Yadav, Farooq Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti, Sitaram Yechury, D Raja and Uddhav Thackeray.

Preparations are in full swing and posters of the visitors are being put up at vantage points in the city while the state guest house, where they are likely to be put up, is getting a facelift.

Chaudhary also hit back at the BJP for 바카라giving a bad name to Bihar바카라 and said the party, which shared power in the state until about a year ago, 바카라would do well to study the latest NITI Aayog report바카라.

바카라Two districts of Bihar, Gaya and Jamui, have been placed among the top five in terms of the progress made in the fields of agriculture, water resources, health and nutrition. BJP leaders in Bihar are belittling their home state to show their loyalty towards the party. The people are taking note,바카라 he said.
