Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who came to Delhi with a long “to-do” list for his ‘Mission Opposition’, checked off the first item Monday evening as he met Congress’s Rahul Gandhi at his Tughlaq Road residence.

According to reports, the discussion was entirely on 2024 and the means to unite the opposition, at the end of which Kumar again told reporters that he has no ambition for the top post.

“There is a concerted effort to weaken regional parties. My effort is to unite the Opposition ahead of the General Elections. I have no intention of pitching myself as a prime ministerial candidate,” Kumar told reporters. 

However, the media buzz is that he is eyeing the Prime Minister’s post and had started the process immediately after his breakup with the BJP.

Meanwhile, Kumar had said that he wishes to meet the leaders of his new Mahagathbandhan Alliance in Delhi, he has also declared that the visit is meant to bring all the opposition leaders under one umbrella – a task seen as a significant challenge.
