Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is “surely prime minister material and will play an important role in the 2014 elections”, his deputy and senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi has said. In an interview to The Indian Express, the Bihar Deputy CM said: “Nitish Kumar is surely PM material. As CM of an important state and valued ally of the BJP, he will definitely play a very important role in the 2014 elections. But he has said the larger party in an alliance alone can have PM nominee to ensure a stable government.”
