Nitish's reiteration of his 'past mistakes' holds deeper meaning

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has been vehemently rubbishing talks about the possibility of any more switchover with "no more idhar-udhar" remark every time he attends a function with BJP bigwigs to express his regret for leaving the NDA in the past.

PATNA:

It was no different on Thursday in Madhubani, as he once again reiterated the same before Prime Minister Narendra Modi and made it clear that he would never commit the mistake again.

"I committed the mistake twice, and it was all because of them. But later, even they realised things were going wrong, so I pulled out. I am now where I truly belong — the place I stood in 2005 to fight against them, and I will remain here," he said, pointing at Union minister Rajiv Ranjan alias Lalan Singh, former JD(U) president.
