Nitish Kumar, JD(U) chief is poised to leave Bihar Mahagathbandhan and align with BJP. Kumar is expected to resign and take oath as CM with BJP’s support on next Monday. Nitish has switched between BJP and RJD, maintaining his role as CM over the past 11 years. He has been termed as the “Paltu Ram” of Bihar politics due to his frequent party switches. Nitish Kumar left BJP-led NDA in 2013, returned in 2017, and exited again in 2022 to join Mahagathbandhan. He is likely to share the stage with PM Narendra Modi at an event on February 4.
