“There is no doubt Nitish Kumar professes to be a secular leader,” the prime minister said, a day after Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader Nitish Kumar and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Modi clasped hands in a show of camaraderie at an election rally here.
However, “a doubt arose” after he saw the two leaders share a platform, he told journalists at a press conference here.
