New Delhi, March 9 LJP (RV) MP Arun Bharti said on Monday that his party members want Union Minister Chirag Paswan to be the next Chief Minister of Bihar, adding that a final decision will be taken by senior NDA leaders.
Asked about posters appearing in Bihar's capital Patna demanding that Paswan should be made the Chief Minister of Bihar, Bharti said it is the desire of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) members.
"People have this wish... but this is our personal view," Bharti said.
"Senior leaders of the NDA will decide who will be the next Chief Minister," he said.
Kumar, the JD(U) chief, announced on Thursday that he will be contesting the Rajya Sabha elections, bringing an end to his tenure as the longest-serving Chief Minister of Bihar. His move comes months after he led the NDA to a landslide victory in the assembly elections held in November last year.
