The political landscape in Bihar has been a topic of major discussion, with the recent actions of the Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, indicating a shift in alliances. The visible distancing from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders has pointed towards a potential change in the political equation.
During the recent celebrations of Karpoori Thakur’s anniversary, Nitish Kumar visited Thakur’s residence alone, in contrast to the expected joint appearance with Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav. Following this, the Chief Minister praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, serving as a clear indication of a deviation from familial politics.
There were speculations of Nitish Kumar joining Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo’ yatra in Bihar, but these have been denied by the Janata Dal United (JDU). Observers now anticipate a potential political turn in Nitish Kumar’s strategies, considering his history of shifting alliances.
Nitish Kumar has switched alliances multiple times in the past – breaking ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2013 to join forces with RJD and Congress, then realigning with BJP in 2017, and later forming an alliance with the Mahagathbandhan in 2022. His actions have led to dissatisfaction and unrest among his allied parties, causing a breakdown in the assignation of seats.
Efforts are being made to persuade and consolidate the support of RJD and Congress to form their government. The combined strength of RJD, Congress, and the Left parties falls short by eight seats of the magical number of 122 in Bihar, demonstrating the significance of Nitish Kumar’s role in the state’s politics.
In view of this, RJD Supreme Laloo Prasad Yadav has reached out to Nitish Kumar, with attempts being made to bring together the required support to form a government. The political dynamics in Bihar are in flux, and the coming days will unfold a clearer picture.
