Claiming the ruling BJP at the Centre was planning to bring forward Lok Sabha elections, Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar on Monday said, "Humlog har samay taiyyar hai (We are always ready)", reported news agency PTI.

The JD (U) leader, who had snapped ties with BJP a year ago and has played an instrumental role in bringing various opposition parties together in forming the I-N-D-I-A bloc, also asserted that the multi-party alliance was 'intact', dispelling apprehensions of internal rift.
