On Sunday, the Bihar CM confirmed that he would be attending the meeting and added that there was nothing personal that he wished for. Notably, Kumar had many times denied that he wished to become the Prime Minister, saying that he was not seeking anything personal from the bloc.

These statements come ahead of the upcoming meeting of the INDIA alliance scheduled in Mumbai. Nitish Kumar, who played a crucial role in initiating the unity movement among opposition parties, reiterated that his focus remains solely on uniting the parties, emphasizing that he lacks personal ambitions.

Amidst speculations about the alliance's future strategies and the potential for more parties to join, Nitish Kumar maintained his commitment to the coalition's growth and success. He commented, "We will discuss the bloc's strategies for next year's general elections during the upcoming meeting in Mumbai. A few more political parties will join our coalition."

While his influence within the opposition grows, Nitish Kumar remains steadfast in his aspiration to ensure the alliance's triumph in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Although discussions circulate around his potential candidacy for the prime ministerial position, Nitish Kumar's primary goal remains leading the INDIA alliance to victory.

The upcoming Mumbai meeting, scheduled for August 31 and September 1, is anticipated to delve into the alliance's policies and strategies, further solidifying its course of action for the future. Among the various political discussions, Nitish Kumar's resolute commitment shines as a guiding light, focusing on unity and progress rather than personal gains.
