Nitish Kumar's Rollercoaster Ride in Bihar Politics: A Recap

From resigning to forming a new government, Nitish Kumar's journey is filled with twists and turns!

Nitish Kumar, the seasoned politician, has taken oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the ninth time, marking another chapter in his tumultuous political career. After resigning from the coalition government, Kumar made a dramatic comeback by forming a new alliance with the BJP, leaving behind the 'Mahagathbandhan' alliance. In a show of confidence, he expressed solidarity with the NDA, vowing to work together for the welfare of Bihar.

The oath-taking ceremony witnessed the presence of key figures including BJP leaders Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, who were named as Deputy Chief Ministers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his congratulations to Kumar, reinforcing the alliance between JD(U) and BJP. The newly formed cabinet is set to hold its first meeting, focusing on the development agenda and governance strategies.

Amidst the political upheaval, Nitish Kumar's decision to switch allegiances has sparked debates and controversies in the political landscape of Bihar. The witty jibe 'Aaya Kumar, Gaya Kumar' aimed at Kumar by opposition leaders reflects the sharp dynamics at play in the state's politics. Despite the mixed reactions, Kumar remains steadfast in his commitment to lead Bihar towards progress and stability.

In a surprising turn of events, Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi's Chief Minister, subtly criticized Nitish Kumar's decision to leave the Congress-led alliance, highlighting the ripple effects of Kumar's realignment. As the dust settles, all eyes are on the upcoming cabinet expansion, with speculations rife about new ministerial appointments and power dynamics within the NDA-BJP alliance.
