Could not have attended KCR meet even if I were invited: Nitish

Patna, Jan 19 (PTI) Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday said engagements in the state would not have allowed him to attend the meeting of opposition leaders hosted by his Telangana counterpart K Chandrasekhara Rao “even if I were invited”.

The JD(U) leader, however, refused to see the Hyderabad event as a precursor to formation of an alternative non-Congress, non-BJP front and reiterated that it would be “in national interest” if all non-NDA parties come together.

“I don’t know about that meeting…..I am very busy right now, I would not have been able to go even if I were invited”, said the CM who has been insisting that his hands were full with the ‘Samadhan Yatra’ and the budget session of the assembly which will commence next month.
