“All regional and secular-democratic parties have to unite across the country to ensure defeat of the BJP,” Marandi told the media in Patna.

Marandi’s statement came a day after Janata Dal-United (JD-U) general secretary KC Tyagi made it clear that Nitish Kumar has no prime ministerial ambitions and is only working to unite like-minded parties to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

“The party has never projected Nitish Kumar as the prime ministerial candidate so far,” Tyagi said.

According to JD-U leaders, Marandi is likely to join hands with Nitish Kumar in Jharkhand.
