Bihar CM Nitish Resigns, All Set To Join NDA!

In a significant development, Nitish Kumar has resigned as the Chief Minister of Bihar, citing the deteriorating condition of the Grand Alliance. Amid speculation about a potential alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Kumar is expected to be sworn in again today, with two BJP leaders, Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Sinha, likely to be appointed as Deputy Chief Ministers.

This move marks Kumar’s departure from the 28-party Opposition bloc INDIA, signaling his intent to form a new coalition with the BJP. Reports suggest a possible removal of ministers aligned with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), his previous alliance partner.

The BJP and Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) have reportedly finalized a seat-sharing agreement for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, scheduled in three months. All BJP MLAs in Bihar have pledged their support to Nitish Kumar. As the political landscape undergoes significant shifts, Kumar’s resignation sets the stage for potential realignments and alliances in the upcoming elections, marking a crucial moment in Bihar’s political dynamics.
