Nitish Kumar is set to take oath as Bihar Chief Minister once again, with the support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), following a familiar script from the 2020 elections. The Congress and RJD have called for meetings of their legislators amidst the political crisis, but the Congress denies any involvement in the evolving political scenario, stating that the meeting is to discuss preparations for Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’. Nitish Kumar’s once stable and developmental political journey has now become a story of constant changes and realignments. Here are the latest updates on the Bihar political crisis:
– JD(U) leaders rush to Nitish Kumar’s residence amid turmoil: Top leaders of the JD(U) hurried to the residence of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, indicating that he may be planning to leave the ruling ‘Mahagathbandhan’ and rejoin the BJP-led NDA. Leaders like former national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh, ‘Lalan’, minister and national general secretary Sanjay Kumar Jha, and state legislative council chairman Devesh Chandra Thakur arrived at 1, Anney Marg, the CM’s official residence, during the ongoing meeting of RJD legislators, the JD(U)’s current ally.

The Bihar Political Crisis revolves around the power struggle between various political parties in the state. Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, faced turmoil within his party, Janata Dal United (JDU). The crisis began when Nitish Kumar resigned from his position, breaking the alliance with RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal) and Congress.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swiftly seized the opportunity and offered support to Nitish Kumar to form a new government. This move led to the collapse of the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance), which included RJD and Congress. Nitish Kumar’s decision was primarily influenced by corruption charges against his then Deputy Chief Minister, Tejashwi Yadav, who is the son of RJD leader Lalu Yadav.
The crisis exposed the rift within JDU, with some members supporting Nitish Kumar’s decision while others remained loyal to the Mahagathbandhan. The split in JDU highlighted the fragility of political alliances and the pursuit of power in Bihar.
The BJP-JDU alliance successfully formed a new government in Bihar, with Nitish Kumar returning as Chief Minister. However, the political crisis has left the state’s political landscape in a state of flux, with repercussions likely to be seen in the upcoming elections. The RJD and Congress are now in the opposition, working to regain their political influence in Bihar.
