Patna, Dec 5 (TheBiharPost/IBNS): Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday congratulated Narendra Modi after the Prime Minister was being declared the Time Magazine's 'Person's of the Year'.

“I congratulate the Prime Minister on this achievement,” Kumar told the media on Monday.

Modi won the Reader’s Poll for ‘Time Person of the Year’, according to media reports on Monday.

According to the Time magazine, “Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has won the online reader’s poll for TIME Person of the Year, beating out other world leaders, artists and politicians as the most influential figure in 2016 among people who voted.”

According to the Time, Modi won with 18 percent of the vote when the polling closed Sunday at midnight.

The Bihar CM also appreciated the currency ban launched by the Prime Minister, describing it as the “right step” which will curb black money.

“There is little inconvenience due to the note ban but the people are not at all angry. Now the PM should also crack down on the benami properties,” Kumar suggested.

Earlier, the chief minister had supported Modi’s visit to Lahore and his surgical strike across the LoC in Pak-Occupied-Kashmir.
