Chirag also remarked that it is impossible to go with Tejashwi Yadav's Rashtirya Janata Dal.
On being asked to speak on the development of Nitish Kumar to become the Chief Minister once again, the LJP chief said, "Would have interfered in the decision but I am not in the position of power to comment on that now."
The only seat won by the LJP eventually was Matihani, where Raj Kumar Singh defeated sitting JD(U) MLA Narendra Kumar Singh alias Bogo Singh by a razor-thin margin of 333 votes. (ANI)
