Patna: Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar on Wednesday said he is unlikely to contest the Assembly elections.
"What is the need for me to contest the Assembly polls? I am already a Member of Legislative Council and have two-three years left to complete the term," Kumar told reporters here.
"I will rather concentrate on electioneering for the NDA in its bid to seek a second term in office to complete development works in the state," he said.
Kumar has been an MLC ever since he took over the reins of the state after the NDA came to power in November 2005.
The Assembly elections in Bihar are due in October- November.
