Nitish Kumar
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday said his party does not believe in symbolic representation.
"We want proportional representation, we do not believe in symbolic representation," said Nitish Kumar while addressing media.
"When I was told one seat will be given to JD(U), I had said we don't need it but I'll ask my party men. I asked everyone, all of them said it's not appropriate that we show only symbolic participation when we're together. We're together, not upset," he added.
"I am seeing reports in newspapers that we had asked for 3 seats, this is false. We had not asked for any seat," he clarified.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday also said that his Janata Dal-United will not be part of the Narendra Modi government as it did not want "symbolic representation".
