After the ceremony, Mr. Kumar said, “In 2014 Narendra Modi became PM but only time will tell whether he would remain there in 2024”

The people of Bihar will give him a befitting reply for his conduct in time to come”, said senior state BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member Sushil Kumar Modi. A lot of things were going on so my partymen decided to snap ties with BJP and I went with their decision”, he said. “The oath of other ministers may happen in a day or two, before the inauspicious month of Kharwans which begins from August 12”, said a senior RJD leader. The Left parties Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist), Communist Party of India (CPI) and CPM are likely to support the new government from outside. Mr. Sushil Kumar Modi has been close to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and in NDA governments he has been his deputy in the cabinet. My partymen will let you know everything.”

Thanks to Nitish Kumar's Moves, the Modi Momentum Stands Stalled (The Wire)

The importance of the change of scene in Patna is that prime minister's bluff has been called.

It would be realistic to keep in mind that the BJP in Bihar is not a push over; it has a strong organisational presence, though it lacks a leadership face. It was perhaps because Nitish Kumar has been such a long, steady and useful partner of the BJP in its sectarian politics; he should be credited with a certain understanding of Modi’s bag of tricks. The importance of the change of scene in Patna is that prime minister’s bluff has been called. That weapon is already overused and no longer carries with it the stigma of moral censure. Within the BJP, all the putative rivals – the Rajnath Singhs and the Nitin Gadkaris – have been made to feel puny and inadequate in comparison to the prime minister. Non-BJP chief ministers like Naveen Patnaik and Jagan Reddy have allowed themselves to feel intimidated, not just by the coercive reach of the central agencies but also by the prime minister’s over-hyped persona.

Nitish Kumar's 2024 Challenge To PM Modi After Taking Oath In ... (NDTV)

After taking oath as Bihar Chief Minister an eighth time, thus continuing in the chair with a change of partners, Nitish Kumar took a shot at Prime Minister ...

After staking claim yesterday, he said he "never allowed corruption" and "we want brotherhood in society". Standing next to him, Tejashwi Yadav accused the BJP of dividing people along communal lines: "We are socialists. The RJD was the largest party with 80, but he became chief minister as leader of the pact. But he made up with PM Modi's party in 2017, left the Grand Alliance and took a fresh oath. He had problems with Narendra Modi's past — particularly the 2002 Gujarat riots — and left the NDA after he became the PM face. And now he is back with the RJD of old pal Lalu Yadav — in a new version of a 2015 alliance. Nitish is likely to still be in the chair in 2024, which means the who'll-be-the-challenger speculation isn't likely to die down soon, especially with the Congress weakened and the Opposition not yet united.

“It proves that Bihar continues to have spaces for all parties and ideologies, where the Socialists, BJP, Congress, and Left all would have their presence. Now that Nitish Kumar is with us, we should expect that the Bihar model of Opposition unity is replicated at the national level.” Now that all seven Bihar parties have come together, this experiment should be replicated at the national level with the Congress taking the lead. We are together now and are not afraid of any political vendetta,” Tejashwi said, charging that the BJP lost virtually all its allies because it would try to “subsume” them sooner or later. Now, the Grand Alliance has seven parties,” Nitish said, indicating that there was a need for a united fight against the BJP in the prevailing political situation. “We will not allow BJP to fulfil its nefarious design now.

'Will Modi win in 2024?' questions Nitish Kumar after taking oath as ... (Scroll.in)

On Tuesday, the Janata Dal (United) leader had resigned as the chief minister after quitting the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance.

JD(U) is the third major ally to snap ties with the BJP in the last three years. However, in 2017, he left the Grand Alliance to rejoin the NDA. In June, thousands of protestors burnt train coaches, damaged public property and ransacked offices in Bihar during an agitation against the Agnipath scheme, which provides for short-term recruitment into the armed forces. But the question to ask is if the person who came to power in 2014 will survive after 2024.” Ask people in the party what they have been reduced to.” “You see what happened,” he remarked.

When he snapped ties with us in June 2013, he had apprised the state and Central BJP leaders about his stand well in advance. Meanwhile, BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi told The Indian Express that Nitish wanted to become Vice-President of the country. “We are stunned at what he did and in the manner he broke ties with us. How can BJP talk of finishing regional parties and disturb the Ganga-Jamuni culture? On Tuesday, Nitish had met Governor Phagu Chauhan, and staked a claim to form the government. But why was he (not retained as Deputy CM). Had he been here, this would not have happened),” he said.

This call was made from Nitish Kumar to Congress Interim President Sonia Gandhi when she was battling COVID-19. Kumar was a long-time BJP ally before snapping ties in 2013. Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader Nitish Kumar was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the eighth time after forming a new "Grand Alliance" which includes Tejashwi Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and other Opposition parties.

Will Nitish Kumar be PM face against Modi in 2024? Why that's ... (The Indian Express)

Nitish Kumar's power play has been read as a twist in the emerging 2024 tale. Can he be the Opposition face against PM Narendra Modi? On what assumptions is ...

The Congress is in a dilemma. His return as Congress president will automatically pitchfork him as the challenger to Modi, a situation he wants to avoid. He is one of the few anti-BJP leaders of stature in the Hindi heartland, where the BJP pulverized the Opposition in 2014 and 2019. Kejriwal has maintained a distance from the rest of the Opposition, which he believes suits him politically. Pawar does not believe a viable Opposition coalition is possible without the Congress. Nitish Kumar has switched back to the Opposition, which is pushing the narrative that the BJP is friendless — or without allies — and is out to finish all other parties. The silence of Mamata Banerjee and Arvind Kejriwal on Nitish’s switch is telling. He remains a staunch socialist with a record of governance that is unmatched in Bihar. But can the Opposition, disparate and divided, find a common thread against the BJP for the 2024 elections? An influential section of the Opposition spectrum believes that projecting a face, or even entering into a pre-poll anti-BJP alliance, would be counterproductive — and amount to walking into Modi’s trap. In Maharashtra, the Opposition won just 7 seats — and in Bihar, the Congress got 1 seat and the RJD was wiped out. Nitish Kumar’s power play has been read as a twist in the emerging 2024 tale.

Explained: नीतीश कुमार के नाम है सबसे ज्यादा बार शपथ लेने का रिकॉर्ड ... (ABP News)

Nitish Kumar Record: नीतीश कुमार पहली दफा साल 2000 में 7 दिन के लिए मुख्यमंत्री (CM) बने थे.

ओडिशा (Odisha) के मौजूदा मुख्यमंत्री नवीन पटनायक (Naveen Patnaik) भी पांच बार मुख्यमंत्री (CM) बन चुके हैं. नीतीश की ही तरह पहली बार नवीन पटनायक ने साल 2000 में मुख्यमंत्री पद की शपथ ली थी. उसके बाद से ओडिशा में लगातार वही सीएम बने हुए हैं. अरुणाचल प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री गेगोंग अपांग भी 5 बार सीएम पद की शपथ ले चुके हैं. अपांग पहली बार 1980 में सीएम बने थे. उसके बाद अपांग 1985, 1990 और 1995 में सीएम बने. पांचवी बार 2004 में अपांग फिर मुख्यमंत्री बने. हिमाचल के मुख्यमंत्री रहे वीरभद्र सिंह (Virbhadra Singh) 6 बार मुख्यमंत्री बने हैं. साल 1983 में पहली बार सीएम बनने वाले वीरभद्र सिंह ने 1985 में दूसरी बार सीएम पद की शपथ ली. इसके अलावा वीरभद्र सिंह 1993, 1998, 2003 और 2012 में भी सीएम बने. नीतीश कुमार ने 10 अगस्त को रिकॉर्ड आठवीं बार सीएम पद की शपथ ली. देश में सबसे लंबे वक्त तक मुख्यमंत्री रहने वाले नेता भी इतनी बार सीएम पद की शपथ नहीं ले पाए हैं. नीतीश सबसे ज्यादा समय तक सीएम रहने के मामले में भले ही पीछे हों, लेकिन सबसे ज्यादा बार शपथ लेने के मामले में कोई उनके आस पास नहीं है. आइए जानते हैं कि नीतीश के बाद देश में सबसे ज्यादा सीएम बनने वाले मुख्यमंत्रियों में कौन-कौन शामिल हैं. तमिलनाडु की मुख्यमंत्री रहीं दिवंगत जे जयललिता (Jayalalitha) भी 6 बार सीएम बनी हैं. पहली बार 1991 में सीएम बनने वाली जयललिता को हालांकि दूसरी बार सीएम बनने के लिए लंबा इंतजार करना पड़ा. दूसरी बार वो 2001 में सीएम बनीं. इसके बाद 2002, 2011, 2015 और 2016 में तमिलनाडु की सीएम रहीं. जयललिता भ्रष्टाचार के कई मामलों में फंसीं, इसलिए कई बार उन्हें ये पद भी छोड़ना पड़ा था. नीतीश कुमार पहली दफा साल 2000 में 7 दिन के लिए बिहार के मुख्यमंत्री बने थे. अगले 22 साल में अब तक वे कुल आठ बार सीएम पद की शपथ ले चुके हैं. ये अपने आप में एक बड़ा रिकॉर्ड है.
