Nitish Kumar, Chief Minister of Bihar, met Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) General Secretary Deepankar Bhattacharya in his party office on Wednesday and discussed a variety of issues, including Bihar’s development and the critical need for a dynamic and broad-based opposition unity.
After meeting with CPI(ML) General Secretary, Kumar said, “Seven political parties are united in Bihar and we are running the government together, and on the other hand, there is only the Bharatiya Janata Party. We had a discussion on how to work for the development of the state with consensus, how to uplift every section of society, and what work has to be done for the welfare of people.” The chief minister said, “I have met all the people in Delhi and many of them thanked me for coming out of the NDA. Everyone wishes that there should be unity in every state, and such an atmosphere will be created in the country in the coming days.”
CM of Bihar further said that everyone is talking about opposition unity. “Everyone realizes that those who have the power in their hands are creating damage everywhere in the country,” he added. “CPI(ML) General Secretary Deepankar Bhattacharya and Nitish Kumar also discussed stopping the BJP’s bulldozer raj in the country. Burning issues of Bihar also came up in the discussion” the party said in a statement.
The CPIML General Secretary told the press that he raised the urgent need for a united attempt for the release of political prisoners, who are lodged behind bars on fabricated charges.
