Mr. Nitish Kumar, the former Chief Minister of Bihar and the President of the Janata Dal United (JDU,) once again took oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar.
After breaking alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) this is for the 8th time that Mr. Nitish Kumar became the Chief Minister of Bihar, on the 10th of August. Notably, after resigning as the NDA-BJP Chief Minister, Mr. Nitish Kumar formed an alliance with the Lalu Prasad Yadav led Rashtra Janata Dal (RJD) and staked claim to form his Janata Dal United (JDU)-Rashtra Janata Dal (RJD) Government in Bihar.
The U-Turn, breaking alliances with the BJP paved a way for the Lalu Prasad’s RJD in Bihar to once again rule the State, as the RJD member and son of Mr. Lalu Prasad Yadav, Mr. Tejaswi Yadav is the new Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar.
Notably, the politics of Bihar were disturbed after Mr. Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar and his Janata Dal United (JDU,) announced an exit from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance.
As per sources, Mr. Nitish Kumar, on the 9th of August, Tuesday, said that the JDU officially walked out of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA.) The decision was taken at a meeting of the Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs,) the Members of the Legislative Councils (MLCs) and the Members of the Parliament (MPs) which took place at Mr. Nitish Kumar’s residence.
Getting into the details, Mr. Nitish Kumar reportedly told the JDU lawmakers that the BJP humiliated them by trying to break the party at the behest of former Union Minister Mr. R.C.P. Singh. In addition, many MLAs and MLCs also complained that the BJP was trying to weaken their party since 2020. Moreover, In the past few months, the BJP and the JDU have been at loggerheads on a plethora of issues including the liquor ban, the Agnipath scheme and the law and order situation.
With this development, the JDU might join hands with the opposition including the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Left parties.
