PATNA: CM Nitish Kumar on Wednesday asked the supporters of former Union minister Upendra Kushwaha to work hard and further strengthen the JD(U) across the state. Kushwaha merged his RLSP with JD(U) on Sunday.
Addressing the supporters of Kushwaha at the CM residence here, Nitish said, “You all are now part and parcel of JD(U). Hence, you should work to further strengthen the organization across the state.”
Prominent workers of the erstwhile RLSP were on Wednesday invited to the CM residence for an informal get-together with senior JD(U) leaders. They reached the CM residence after Kushwaha took oath as a member of the state legislative council.
Recounting the development works executed by his government in the previous years, Nitish asked the newly inducted JD(U) members to take the achievements and good works of the state government up to village level and make people aware about the welfare measures being taken by his government.
Senior JD(U) leaders, including former state president Bashishtha Narain Singh, education minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary, building construction minister Ashok Choudhary, WRD minister Sanjay Jha and all other newly nominated JD(U) MLCs were present at the meeting.
