Calling the BJP and Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) a made for each other alliance, Sushil Modi dismissed speculations that such seat-sharing pact may upset the sitting BJP MPs who could be denied tickets. "Nitish Kumar was with the BJP for 17 years, and again we have come together because it is a natural alliance," Sushil Modi said. During the previous tenure of the BJP-JD(U) government in Bihar, Modi said, the government at the Centre was not supportive of Bihar. Nitish ji made one call to Prime Minister and army was sent to Bihar during floods," Sushil Modi said. On GST being a major poll issue in Gujarat, Sushil Modi asked sceptics to wait for the election results.
