Addressing a press conference, the BJP’s state unit chief Sanjay Jaiswal said all members of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will fight unitedly and win with a three-fourth majority.

“BJP’s parliamentary board will take a decision in this regard. All parties of the NDA will unitedly fight the elections and emerge victorious with over three-fourth majority”, Jaiswal said.

Jaiswal’s remarks come a day after Union minister and Lok Sabha MP from the state’s Arrah constituency, RK Singh, said the BJP is capable of forming a government on its own. However, he had further said the party does not want to break its over two decade-long partnership with the JD(U) and that the Kumar-led party, too, doesn’t want to snap ties with the BJP.

The 2020 Bihar assembly polls are likely to take place in October-November.
