While the oppositions are continuously targetting Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for being old, a massive development has taken place. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has made a big announcement during the campaigning for Bihar assembly elections. He said in a rally held in Purnia on Thursday that this will be his last election. If this will go in his favour then it will be like all well that ends well.
Nitish Kumar began his political career as a student activist at Bihar Engineering College, who was drawn into the popular anti-Indira movement led by socialist leader Jaya Prakash Narayan in 1974. His debut into politics was rewarded with two quick jail terms, shortly before and after Emergency was imposed.
