New Delhi sources have made a statement that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will attend a farewell dinner being hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Delhi's Hyderabad House on Saturday evening for outgoing President Pranab Mukherjee.
Meanwhile, Ram Nath Kovind who takes oath as India's next President on Tuesday will also be present, along with PM Modi's ministers and allies in the ruling National Democratic Alliance. Also invited are leaders of parties like the BJD and AIADMK, who like, Nitish Kumar, supported Mr. Kovind for President in elections held recently.
Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar has asserted that his support for Ram Nath Kovind is based only on the 71-year-old leader's credentials and his impeccable neutrality during his tenure as Bihar Governor. For Vice President, Mr. Kumar's party has pledged support to the Opposition's candidate Gopal Gandhi for elections to be held next month. The dinner was a grand gala with both Veg and Non-Veg food offered. However, more than the food, it was the emotions all the way!
