New Delhi: With support from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nitish Kumar, the leader of the Janata Dal (United), is anticipated to take the oath of office as Chief Minister of Bihar for a record ninth time tomorrow. This is essentially a reenactment of the 2020 election scenario. The state's political unrest has led to a number of initiatives, such as large-scale official transfers, which have increased instability. Widespread rumors of an impending government transition have placed doubt on the stability of the current "Mahagathbandhan" ruling coalition.
With the apparent purpose of organizing for the next Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has summoned its MPs and MLAs to a conference today. Samrat Choudhary, the head of the state unit, downplayed the reports of a renewed alliance with Nitish Kumar, although key hints on the current discussions were provided by BJP leaders.
According to sources, Nitish Kumar called a meeting of the legislative party for this morning at ten o'clock. According to sources, Bihar is seeing a large-scale district magistrate transfer at the same time as rumors of a government change are circulating.
The absence of Tejashwi Yadav, Nitish Kumar's deputy, from yesterday's Republic Day tea at Raj Bhavan indicated a growing divide between the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Janata Dal (United).
Congress, the ally of Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) in the opposition INDIA alliance, called a meeting in Purnea amid this political pandemonium, although they denied any connection to the evolving political landscape. The Congress will talk about getting ready for Rahul Gandhi's "Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra," which is expected to pass through Bihar on Monday and include public gatherings in Katihar, Purnea, and Kishanganj.
The Bihar Assembly won't be dissolved anytime soon, according to insiders, even if the Lok Sabha elections appear to be the main emphasis right now. To finalize their plans, the BJP and JD(U) are speaking with their respective MPs and MLAs, opening the door for a radical change in Bihar's political system.
Nitish Kumar's return to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the BJP, is not without difficulties, though. Reshuffles in the cabinet and the nomination of an Assembly Speaker are part of the intricate plot, sources told NDTV.
The mysterious statement made by BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi, the former deputy chief minister under Nitish Kumar, "No door is closed in politics." "If necessary, the door can be opened," has given the development an additional twist.
This political riddle also includes former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and his Hindustan Awam Morcha, whom the BJP courted in order to forge a strategic partnership.
Once linked to stability and progress, Nitish Kumar's political career has become a tale of about-faces and realignments. His journey from the acclaimed "Sushashan Babu" to the enigmatic "Paltu Kumar" illustrates how Bihar's political landscape is evolving.
