Speaking on the occasion, Nitish Kumar said "'Agli baar jab aap (Narendra Modi) aaiye toh kuch log jo idhar udhar jeet gaya hai, agli baar sab haarega. Humko poora bharosa hai.'" He was taking a dig at seats that the RJD and Congress won in Bihar including that of Lalu Yadav's family.
Kumar also added, "All the pending works of Bihar will be done. It is a very good thing that all of us have come together and we will all work together with you (PM Modi). You will be swearing in as the Prime Minister on Sunday, but I wanted you to do it today itself. Whenever you take the oath, we will be with you...We will all work together under your leadership."
