For the second time in eight years, the Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) broke its ties with the BJP

Nitish Kumar, the erratic leader of Bihar who had just resigned as chief minister, visited the governor Phagu Chauhan once again on a day when political affairs were moving quickly. He pushed his claim to head a new administration. Tejashwi Yadav, the head of the opposition, was with him.

The ‘Mahagathbandhan’ (grand alliance) headed by the JD(U)-RJD will take the oath at 2:00 pm on Wednesday. The Mahagathbandhan, comprising seven parties, has already chosen Nitish as its head. The state Assembly’s magic number is 122, while its effective strength is 242.

Later, while speaking to the media, Kumar said he had given the governor a list of 164 MLAs, and the governor would then determine when the oath could be administered.

BJP ally Kumar was kept in the dark for the second time in eight years by Kumar’s decision, which was a reverse of what occurred in 2017 when he quit the Mahagathbandhan to rejoin the NDA.

“We fought the 2020 elections jointly under NDA, the mandate was for JD-U and BJP, we got more seats despite that, Nitish Kumar was named the CM,” claimed Sanjay Jaiswal, head of the saffron party’s state unit, accusing Nitish Kumar of abandoning the people of Bihar and the BJP. Everything that took place today is a betrayal of the BJP and the people of Bihar.

“Nitish is the most experienced Chief Minister in the nation who has taken a daring move,” Tejashwi Yadav said during a joint news conference with Kumar. The RJD leader launched a stinging assault on the BJP, declaring: “Across the Hindi heartland, the BJP has no alliance partners. According to history, the BJP annihilates the parties with whom it enters an alliance.

In Punjab and Maharashtra, we did saw that occurring. JP Nadda said they will stop regional parties. The BJP is only capable of intimidating and bribing individuals. The BJP’s objective in Bihar was the sole thing we were trying to stop in Bihar. Everyone is aware of how Laluji halted Advaniji’s “Rath.” Tejashwi Yadav said, “We won’t compromise at any cost.
