Nitish Kumar sorry for quitting, says won't repeat it
Patna, Feb 20: Senior JD-U leader Nitish Kumar, who may become the next Bihar chief minister after Jitan Ram Manjhi quit, Friday publicly apologised to the people for his mistake in having resigned last year. "I admit that I had made a mistake by resigning as chief minister. I publicly apologise for it to people of Bihar. Please forgive me for it as I will not repeat my mistake," Nitish Kumar said at a press conference here. Nitish Kumar saying sorry was akin to Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal's apology for resigning as the Delhi chief minister after 49 days last year. The AAP went on to make a stunning comeback in Delhi, winning 67 of the 70 assembly seats. Nitish Kumar apologised twice during his half an hour address to the media here. He made it clear that he will not take any such emotional decision in the future. Manjhi Friday resigned just ahead of a floor test.
