Nitish Kumar's Political Rollercoaster: From Alliances to U-turns

Bihar Chief Minister - BJP - Congress - NDA alliance - Nitish Kumar

Find out how Nitish Kumar's alliances and decisions shaped Bihar's political landscape!

Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, has been on a rollercoaster ride of political realignments and alliances. Recently, his decision to return to the BJP-led NDA has stirred up controversy and garnered mixed reactions. While some see it as a strategic move benefiting the BJP, others view it as a setback for Nitish Kumar's political career.

The expansion of Nitish Kumar's cabinet has added fuel to the political fire in Bihar. With new ministers expected to be announced soon, the dynamics within the state government are evolving rapidly. Critics speculate on the impact this reshuffling will have on the power balance in Bihar.

Amidst the chaos, voices like Jairam Ramesh from the Congress have welcomed Nitish Kumar's realignment, calling it a 'good riddance' for the INDIA alliance. This shift in alliances and rhetoric adds a new layer of complexity to the already intricate political scenario in Bihar.

Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Nitish Kumar quitting the alliance due to caste survey demands shed light on the underlying tensions and motives driving political decisions in Bihar. The constant back and forth between alliances and accusations of U-turns keep Bihar's political landscape in a state of flux, with Nitish Kumar at the center of it all.
