Amid the speculation about whether the Opposition alliance INDIA will have a prime ministerial candidate, Bihar minister and JD(U) leader Shravan Kumar said on Saturday that Nitish Kumar does not aspire to become the prime minister and that the latter's primary goal is to make the INDIA alliance win in the 2024 Lok Sabha election.

"Nitish Kumar himself does not aspire to become the prime minister. His target is that the INDIA alliance should form the government after the 2024 Lok Sabha polls," Janata Dal (United) leader Shravan Kumar said while talking to reporters. He, however, said that people in the Hindi Heartland are "discussing that Nitish Kumar is a worthy candidate for the post of prime minister".
