The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader's statement was in response to a recent remark by Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar about the Congress바카라s 바카라lackadaisical바카라 approach in taking forward the discussion on seat sharing among INDIA parties. Speaking at a CPI rally last Thursday, Kumar said that Congress was busy with assembly elections rather than focusing on the INDIA bloc.
바카라All of us came together and strived to project Congress as the fulcrum of our unity initiative, but the Congress is showing no concern,바카라 the Bihar CM had said.
