On Sunday, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced ahead of the last assembly elections in Bihar that Nitish Kumar would be the next chief minister as both parties (BJP and JDU) were contesting jointly. "Despite Nitish Kumar's party winning fewer seats than the BJP, Modiji kept his word and Kumar was made the chief minister," he claimed. Earlier in the day, Eknath Shinde said in Ayodhya that the ideology of Shiv Sena led by him and that of BJP is the same and they will unfurl the saffron flag across Maharashtra next year.
