 "Nitish Kumar's Political Comeback: Oath of Office Amidst Shifting Alliances and Controversial Resignation"

Nitish Kumar is set to be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Bihar at 5 PM today, following his resignation on Sunday, which marked the end of his 18-month ruling alliance with Lalu Prasad Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress. Supported by the BJP, Kumar is making a comeback to the NDA, accompanied by two Deputy Chief Ministers, Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, along with eight ministers who will also take the oath.

Having been elected as the leader of the NDA, Nitish Kumar cited various reasons for his resignation in an interview. He confirmed his resignation, stating that no significant work was happening, allies were distracted, and the situation within the Mahagathbandhan was not favorable. Working with RJD was becoming difficult, and overall, things weren't conducive with the Mahagathbandhan.

This political move comes after Nitish Kumar, who had parted ways with the BJP in 2022, took the initiative to unite opposition forces against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling party in the national election.

Notably, Nitish Kumar first became Chief Minister in 2000, campaigning against RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav's 'Jungle Raaj'. He has held the position on eight occasions. In 2013, he broke ties with the NDA after a 17-year alliance due to his displeasure over Narendra Modi's selection as the BJP's prime ministerial candidate. In 2017, he formed a grand alliance with the RJD and Congress, only to walk out in 2017, accusing the RJD of corruption.

In 2022, Nitish Kumar severed ties with the BJP again, alleging a conspiracy against him and attempts by the BJP to influence JD-U MLAs to rebel against him.
