We are with Nitish Kumar and will continue to be with him,” IANS quoted Shah as saying in Patna on Thursday. “The NDA (National Democratic Alliance) is united and strong in Bihar. We will contest the Lok Sabha election together and will win all 40 seats in the state,” he said. “The end of Congress will take place in Bihar,” he said about the opposition party.
