Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who orchestrated the formation of the INDIA bloc and subsequently quit it, has addressed reporters, stating that he had urged the opposition coalition to choose a different name. After parting ways with the BJP in 2022, Nitish Kumar took on the task of uniting all opposition forces to challenge Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his ruling party in the national election. Recently, he took the oath as Chief Minister of Bihar for the ninth time, aligning with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance. Nitish Kumar justified his move by accusing the alliance of inaction in finalizing seat-sharing agreements for the Lok Sabha assembly elections. He further criticized Rahul Gandhi, claiming that the Congress MP was falsely taking credit for the Bihar caste census. In response, Rahul Gandhi resumed his ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ with a roadshow in Bihar’s Katihar district. Regarding the ED action against RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav in the land-for-job scam case, Nitish Kumar stated that the investigation was underway and he was not fully aware of the allegations against Yadav.
