Former Bihar chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Thursday said that the decision over the chief ministerial candidate for Bihar would be taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah, and added that it would be accepted by all.
"Whatever decision the Prime Minister and BJP president takes, it will be okay with us. We have decided that whatever is in favour of Bihar and NDA, that route will be taken," said Manjhi after his meeting with Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers Ananth Kumar here.
Meanwhile, Ananth Kumar said that the decision over seat sharing between the BJP and its allies would be taken in the next two to three days.
"I think between two to three days, we will decide on the seat sharing," said Kumar.
