His bête-noire, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, however, does not think much of the Prime Minister's visit to Bihar.
"There is not much hope of PM announcing anything new in the package he is expected to announce. His announcement would be a packaging of the existing ones initiated by me and approved by the UPA, However, I myself will be there to accord the PM a warm welcome whether we get something new or not," he said.
