On Article 370, UCC, Nitish Kumar said, “there’s no contradiction. We’ve always maintained Article 370 shouldn’t be scrapped, Uniform Civil Code shouldn’t be imposed. On Ayodhya matter, Bihar CM said, “the dispute should be resolved through mutual agreement/court’s intervention. We’ve maintained this since we first forged an alliance with BJP.”

Terming BJP’s stand on these issues not new, Nitish Kumar said, “A party has its own stand but when there is an alliance, all of this is discussed. So there is no problem there.”
