PATNA: Amid all kinds of speculations about his health by the Opposition, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar completed his two-month Pragati Yatra covering all the 38 districts on Friday, and on Sunday senior JD-U leader and Nitish's cabinet colleague Vijay Kumar Choudhary said that the NDA was ready for election any time, hinting at the possibility of an early election in Bihar.

"The NDA is ready any time. It is for the Election Commission to decide when should election be held in the state. The scheduled time for election is October-November. The cohesion among the constituents of the alliance and the positive vibes the Yatra has generated has pulled the rug from under the feet of the Opposition and that is why they have been speaking the language only they can. The fact is that Bihar has no substitute for Nitish Kumar and the people realise it, while the Opposition knows it," he added.
