| Bihar CM Nitish Kumar suggests EC to reduce duration of Lok Sabha poll | | |
NEW DELHI: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was among the early voters as polling began in 59 parliamentary constituencies across seven states and one Union Territory on Sunday.Talking to media after casting his vote in Patna, the Bihar CM said that the Election Commission should not keep huge gap between two phases of Lok Sabha poll.
"The elections should wrap up early so that it is convenient for voters. It's very hot. The elections should be held in consultation between parties. The election should not be held over such a long duration. There was a long gap between each phase of voting. I will write to leaders of all parties to build a consensus on this," said the Bihar CM.
Commenting on Sadhvi Pragya Thakur's comment that Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse was a 'patriot', the Bihar chief minister said that Sadhvi Pragya's remarks were completely wrong. He added that what action BJP will take against her is the internal matter of the party but his party will not tolerate such statements.
Referring to Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad's statement that the grand old party is ready to forego prime minister's seat in order to keep BJP out of power, Nitish Kumar said that everyone is aware of the position of Congress. The Bihar CM added that he enjoys good relationship with Azad.
