‘I am more qualified than those roaming around for the post of prime ministership,’ Kumar said in his ‘sankalp yatra’ held here to demand special category status for Bihar. Without naming either Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi, he said ‘While one does not have the experience of Parliament another has no experience of running a state...I have both experiences ...Am I less qualified than them?’ Asked categorically if he was a prime ministerial candidate, Kumar said his party JD(U) was small and modest and did not make tall claims, but believed in working sincerely for the people.
Told that senior leaders like Mulayam Singh Yadav and Jayalithaa, whose parties SP and AIADMK were part of the Third Front, had hinted of being in the race for the PM’s post, he shot back ‘What’s wrong in this? Every party has its strategy to maximise support among people.’
