Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is not in the race for the post of the prime minister though he has all the qualities required to become one, his party, the Janata Dal (United), said on Sunday.
The party is an ally of the BJP at the Centre as well as in the state.
Asked about the matter, Kumar said called it "nonsense". "I neither want nor expect (this)."&nbsp;
"Nitish Kumar is not a candidate for the post of the prime minister. The JD(U) is the most trusted member of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the leader of the alliance. But he (Kumar) certainly is a PM material," JD(U) General Secretary and spokesperson K C Tyagi told reporters after the party's national council meeting here.
&ldquo;We are in the NDA and firmly support the alliance. The party would welcome setting up of an NDA coordination committee to resolve various issues. During the period of Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, several works were done after setting up the coordination committee. "We will be happy if a similar coordination committee is formed again at the central and state levels for smooth functioning of the government and to put a stop to unwarranted comments made by leaders of alliance partners,&rdquo; Tyagi said.
To a question, he said the JD(U) will contest the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh and Manipur in 2022.
"Our priority will be to form an alliance with the BJP (for the polls). If that does not happen, we will contest independently," the senior JD(U) leader said.
The party had not contested the UP assembly elections in 2017.
Rajiv Ranjan Singh, newly appointed JD(U) national president, had said on August 7 that the party is capable of contesting elections alone.
On the JD(U)&rsquo;s demand for caste-based census in the country, Tyagi said, &ldquo;A delegation led by the CM recently briefed the PM on the caste-based ensus and urged him to take an appropriate decision. The PM listened to the delegation. The caste census should be done at least once. It will be easy for the government to identify the poor other than Dalits and help formulate schemes for their welfare".
The caste-based census has not taken place in the country since British rule.

Here's what Nitish Kumar said after his party's 'PM material' pitch

JDU says Nitish Kumar is PM material, but not in race

Byte: Nitish Kumar: ye sab faltoo batein hain...
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar rejecting his party's 'PM material' pitch as "rubbish".
This&nbsp;response came after the JDU said that Kumar has all the qualities to become the Prime Minister but he is not in the race for the post.
After a meeting of the party's National Council in Patna on Sunday, senior JDU leader KC Tyagi said that although Nitish Kumar has all the qualities to become PM, he is not a claimant to the post as Narendra Modi is the NDA candidate for the top job.
Asked about the matter, Nitish Kumar called it "nonsense". "I neither want nor expect this," he said.
((Repeat byte: sab faltu baat hai))
Earlier this month, senior JD(U) leader Upendra Kushwaha -- after being named the leader of the JD(U) parliamentary party -- had called Nitish Kumar "PM material".

In a landmark interim order the Supreme Court on Wednesday said women can sit for the NDA (National Defence Academy) admission exam scheduled next for September 5 &ndash;
The order from the apex court will likely allow more women to serve in India's armed forces.
The court slammed a "mindset problem" when it comes to equal service opportunities as it warned the government to change. A division bench also expressed displeasure over women being denied equal opportunities despite its other verdicts on the matter.
It further stated that that Army&rsquo;s policy decision &ldquo;is based on gender discrimination,&rdquo;. It pulled up the Indian Army for its discriminatory policies and questioned why &lsquo;co-education&rsquo; was a problem.
The government had however argued that its recruitment policy was not discriminatory and that there were a wide number of ways in which women could apply. The Centre told the Supreme Court on Tuesday that women cannot claim violation of any fundamental right for being denied entry at the National Defence Academy or the Indian Naval Academy

BJP leader nd Bihar Minister Samrat Chaudhary has said that it is not easy to run the government in Bihar, where his party is in alliance with Nitiah Kumar's JDU.
While addressing a gathering in Aurangabad on Sunday, Chaudhary also said that things become easier in states where BJP is in power on its own, "but in coalitions like Bihar, we have to tolerate a lot of things".
He added that there are four ideologies working together in Bihar, referring to BJP, JDU, HAM and VIP that form the NDA in the state.
Chaudhary, who is the Panchayati Raj minister in Bihar, said that the BJP accepted Nitish Kumar as the chief minister even though the JDU won 43 seats and his party garnered 74. "And this is not the first time. In 2000 also, the JD(U) had won just 37 seats and the BJP won 68-69 seats. Despite this, the party accepted Nitish Kumar as the chief minister."

Is Chirag Paswan, the son of the ultimate political weatherman Ram Vilas Paswan, turning out to be a political flicker?
As of today, he is a leader without a party.
His MPs have rebelled against Chirag Paswan replace him with his uncle as their leader in Lok Sabha.
A desperate Paswan tried to mend fences with his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras on Monday and drove to his house, only to be turned away from the door after waiting and honking for about two hours.
The Lok Sabha Speaker has recognised Hajipur MP Pashupati Paras as the LJP leader in the House.
The fall of Chirag Paswan was long in the making.
His poll rhetoric was met with a cruel reality check when his party won only 1 seat in the Bihar elections.
Chirag, who broke away from the NDA, directed his entire campaign against Nitish Kumar, while calling himself PM Modi's Hanuman.But he succeeded in denting the JDU... and was widely believed to be acting at the behest of the BJP to cut Nitish to size... &nbsp;
BJP emerged as the big brother in Bihar NDA for the first time, thanks largely to Chirag cutting into JDU's vote-&nbsp;LJP's 6%&nbsp; vote share probably cost JDU 30 seats..
Then came the first jolt as Nitish nursing his electoral wounds, struck first blood.Lone LJP MLA in the state joined the JDU,&nbsp;leaving the Paswan's party without any representation in his home state.
But Nitish Kumar had not extracted his full revenge on the young Paswan yet.
Chirag's style of functioning, which saw him take political decisions unilaterally, and disgruntlment among party leaders only made matters worse for him.
Monday came as rude jolt to Chirag as his uncle staged a literal coup, leaving him high and dry.
The LJP's implosion reportedly has tacit blessings of both the BJP and the JDU.
Reports say that Chirag's vehement anti-Nitish stand was coming in the way of NDA unity in Bihar.Chirag Paswan, who was till a few days ago hoping to become a minister in the re-jigged&nbsp;Modi Cabinet, has now even lost his party leader post.
His uncle, with whom he had a tiff over the former's praise for Nitish Kumar, is set to be elected as LJP's national president and is also likely to make it to the Union Cabinet to take place of late Ram Vilas Paswan.
Is it the end of the political road for Chirag Paswan? That only time will tell. But the young heir to politically astute and pragmatic Ram Vilas Paswan, surely had bitten more than he could chew.
As for the moment, totally isolated within the party and political landscape,&nbsp;Chirag is staring at a slow and steady burnout.

'I had a&nbsp;massive decision to make when I was studying in the 12th standard. That was probably the turning point in my life. Actually I wanted to go into the&nbsp;National Defence Academy. But I was playing U-16 &amp; U-19 cricket and as destiny would have its say, I was actually picked to play Ranji&nbsp;Trophy when I was in school. I did really well in my second first class game against Karnataka. So, when I finished that game, I was selected for the NCA. So that was the turning point for me to go to the NCA&nbsp;and not to the NDA. Had I not played Ranji&nbsp;Trophy in 12, I would have definitely gone into NDA.'

Dismissing the reports of a rift between the BJP and JDU, CM Nitish Kumar's party has stated that it is firmly with the NDA in Bihar. Senior JDU leader Lallan Singh on Sunday dismissed reports of a breakdown of ties in the alliance. Nitish Kumar himself had launched an indirect attack on the BJP at a party meet on Saturday, claiming JDU struggled to win seats because of delayed seat-sharing talks between the two parties. He said the JDU had "paid a big price" and that "false propaganda was spread against my party" - a veiled reference to LJP chief Chirag Paswan, who fielded candidates only against JDU.

Bihar Polls 2020: All You Need to Know

As temperatures dip in some parts of the country, the political heat is rising in Bihar as polling draws near and political parties give their campaigns one final push. &nbsp;
The election for the 243-seat Bihar assembly is being held in 3 phases &ndash; 71 constituencies will vote in the first phase on October 28, 94 seats will go to polls in the second phase on November 3 and third phase on November 7 will cover 78 assembly seats. The ballots will be counted on November 10. &nbsp;
Around 7.29 crore people including nearly 78 lakh first-time voters will decide the fate of political stalwarts like Nitish Kumar and as well as that of rising sons like Tejashwi Yadav and Chirag Paswan. &nbsp;
Alliances have changed since the last Bihar assembly elections in 2015 which saw the RJD, JD(U) and Congress combine come to power. However, Nitish Kumar walked out of this grand alliance in 2017 to return to the BJP-led NDA fold. He continued as the Chief Minister but BJP&rsquo;s Sushil Kumar Modi replaced RJD&rsquo;s Tejashwi Yadav as the Deputy Chief Minister. &nbsp;
2020 might be the younger Yadav scion&rsquo;s year of vengeance as he takes the field as the chief ministerial candidate of the Congress-RJD Mahagathbandhan. The RJD has bagged the lion&rsquo;s share and will be contesting 144 seats, Congress 70 seats and the CPI-ML, CPI and CPI(M) will be contesting a total of 29 seats. The grand alliance is however a few allies short with Vikasheel Insaan Party and former CM Jiten Manjhi&rsquo;s Hindustani Awam Morcha quitting the alliance and joining NDA. &nbsp;
The ruling coalition may have gained 2 allies but it lost 1 very important ally with Lok Janshakti Party led by late Ram Vilas Paswan&rsquo;s son Chirag Paswan deciding to party ways with NDA in Bihar over differences with Nitish Kumar. While the LJP will fight the polls alone, it will field candidates only against JD(U) and not the BJP.&nbsp;
The saffron party is contesting 110 seats, the JD(U) 115 seats and smaller allies Vikasheel Insaan Party and CM Jiten Ram Manjhi&rsquo;s HAM will be fighting from 11 and 7 seats respectively.&nbsp;
There are other minor political parties and alliances in the fray as well. Former NDA ally Upendra Khushwaha&rsquo;s Rashtriya Lok Samta Party has joined hands with Asaduddin Owaisi&rsquo;s AIMIM. Chandrashekhar Azad&rsquo;s Azad Samaj Party has formed an alliance with MP Pappu Yadav&rsquo;s Jan Adhikar Party. &nbsp;
Whether these smaller parties dampen the Diwali festivities of the bigger ones by dividing their votes or Nitish Kumar beats anti-incumbency to retain his chair or an ailing Lalu Yadav sees his son lead his party to victory will be clear when the EVMs are unlocked on November 10. &nbsp;

After veiled jibe Tejashwi Yadav now shows sympathy for Chirag Paswan

In a season of changed political posturing in Bihar, where elections are to be held, Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav appears to be cozying up to NDA dissenter Chirag Paswan, who left the ruling alliance in the state owing to his differences with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Tejashwi, who is the de-facto RJD chief, spoke in favour of Chirag who recently lost his father Ram Vilas Paswan. After claiming that Chirag&rsquo;s LJP was contesting on many seats just to help the BJP by triggering a division of votes, Tejashwi on Monday said Nitish had done injustice to the LJP chief at the time when he needed his late father more than ever. Chirag had in a recent interview talked about how he felt hurt after Nitish refused to join his father as he was to file nominations of the Rajya Sabha last year. The Chief Minister, Chirag had claimed, had not offered condolence to him or to his mother.

Nitish insulted my father, worked against LJP in 2019 poll: Chirag

PTI, Patna:&nbsp;LJP president Chirag Paswan trashed on Thursday suggestions that he parted ways with Nitish Kumar's JD(U) because of differences over seat-sharing for the Bihar assembly polls, and accused the chief minister of harming the Dalit community by creating a sub-group of Mahadalits.
Paswan said his party had fought the Lok Sabha polls last year in alliance with the JD(U) because of the "compulsions" brought on by the return to the NDA of Kumar, whose party he accused of working against LJP candidates in the general elections in violation of the coalition dharma.
The 37-year-old, who recently lost his father Ram Vilas Paswan, the charismatic LJP founder, also alleged that Kumar had behaved "haughtily" when the late Union minister had called on him last year with the request to accompany him for filing nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha.

Don't fall in anybody's 'publicity trap': Nitish to Bihar voters

PTI, Banka/Bhagalpur:&nbsp;Beginning his election tours with a public meeting at Banka, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Wednesday alerted people not to fall in anybody's "publicity trap" else while their income would multiply but that of the common man would slide as was the case before the present dispensation came on the scene.
He cautioned people that any error in making a right decision while casting vote would pave way for return of condition that prevailed 15 years before the NDA assumed reins of the state in 2005 end.
After launching campaign for Bihar polls on Monday with a virtual rally and addressing two more digital rallies Tuesday, Kumar started addressing election meetings physically with a public meeting at Balua maidan in Banka district during the day.
From there he flew to Bhagalpur to address a second rally at Sultanganj and after that another one at Munger and the last in Mokama in the outskirts of Patna.
On return to the state capital, he addressed a virtual rally from the party headquarters in a bid to reach out to maximum number of people during the election.
Reports from ground zero suggested that while the CM and others sitting on the dais wore masks and maintained social distancing norms to ward off danger of spread of deadly coronavirus, among the general public who had turned up in good numbers in the rallies many were sighted without mask and standing in close proximity to each other.
Seeking vote for his party candidates, Kumar who heads the ruling Janata Dal (United), listed achievements of his governments in the last 15 years and reeled out figure to compare them with the situation prevailing in the state for an equal amount of time before that.
The RJD was in power in Bihar from 1990 to 2005. Kumar is at the helm of state affairs since then.
Kumar has already made it clear that "15 years vs 15 years" would be the dominant narrative in the present state elections.
"Look at the work and don't fall in anybody's publicity trap else while their income would multiply but yours would come down as was the case 15 years before we came on the scene to reconstruct Bihar," the JD(U)'s star campaigner said.
Making a scathing attack at his bete noire Lalu Prasad, Kumar said "some people work only for their wife, sons and daughters while for me the entire Bihar is the family for whom I work day and night." While, Prasad two sons and eldest daughter are occupying prominent posts in the party and also holding constitutional positions, neither Kumar's lone son nor any other members of his family are active in politics.
Kumar's wife has already died.
The RJD supremo's younger son Tejashwi Yadav has been accepted as their chief ministerial candidate by the Grand Alliance partners.
"Apne liye kaam karne wale andaar hai (those who work for themselves only are behind the bars today because of their deeds," he said while taking a veiled dig at Prasad.
Prasad is in jail in Ranchi after conviction in four cases of the multi-crore rupees fodder scam.
Taking a jibe at the opponents, he said "while we will work for Bihar, they will work for upliftment of their family. We will work for progress while they will spend time on 'satyanash' (destruction) of the state." The JD(U) president reiterated that if voters give him another chance, his government would unroll "Saat Nischay" (Seven resolves) part II, to take up more developmental programmes in the state.
Seven resolves part I, launched by the Kumar administration for its 2015-20 term, comprised seven schemes to ensure basic necessities such as supply of piped drinking water, construction of toilets and concrete drains and electricity connection to every household. Most of the projects have been completed.
Its second part will focus on enhancing skill of youths to brighten their jobs prospect, promoting entrepreneurship among women by providing them financial assistance, irrigation facility to every agriculture field and additional health facilities for people and animals.
He made special mention of work done for empowerment of women by giving them 50 per cent reservation in election to panchayats and urban local bodies and earmarking 35 per cent jobs for them in the state government.
