Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday maintained that he “made a mistake twice" in the past by joining hands with the RJD and said he would now stay with the BJP-led Democratic Alliance (NDA).  The Bihar Chief Minister’s statement came amid the ongoing speculations regarding a possible “tie-up" between his party JD(U) and the Mahagathbandhan ahead of the Bihar polls following Lalu Prasad’s “doors open for Nitish" remark.

Addressing a review meeting, Nitish Kumar said, “The people of Bihar gave us a chance to work from November 24, 2005. Since then, we have been continuously working for the development of the state. Before 2005, Bihar’s condition was very bad. People were afraid to leave their houses after evening, there was no arrangement for treatment in hospitals, the roads were dilapidated."

“When the people of Bihar gave us a chance to work, the condition of the state changed. We went here and there by mistake twice. But now we will always stay together and will develop the country along with Bihar," the Chief Minister added.
