Nitish Kumar should now gear up for PM's post: Farooq Abdullah

Patna: The chorus for Nitish Kumar as the next PM is growing louder day-by-day.

Former CM of J&K Farooq Abdullah on Friday in Patna said that now Nitish Kumar should gear up for next PM of India.

The former J&K CM arrived at Patna's Gandhi Maidan to witness the swearing-in ceremony of Nitish Kumar as Bihar CM.

The Janata Dal (United) leader will be sworn in as the chief minister of Bihar for the fifth time on Friday.

An array of personalities will also be present at the swearing-in ceremony.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had accepted invitation from Nitish Kumar but would not be able to attend the function due to prior engagements. He has deputed Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu to represent the Union Government at the ceremony.
