'Forget Assembly Poll Results and Look Ahead': Bihar CM Nitish Kumar Tells JD(U) Workers FOLLOW US ON: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday urged workers of his Janata Dal (United) to look at the future banishing memories of the recent assembly elections in which the party suffered humiliating losses. The JD(U) de facto leader, who relinquished the post of the party's national president earlier this month, also asserted that the government in the state will "complete its five-year term", in an indirect rebuff to opposition leaders who have been speaking of political instability. Kumar was addressing the party's state council and state executive meetings in Patna, in presence of leaders like RCP Singh, who has succeeded him as the national president, and state unit chief Vashishtha Narayan Singh. The JD(U) could win only 43 seats in the October-November polls, down from 71 in the last elections in 2015.
