Nitish Kumar’s Crucial Meeting with Governor Amid Bihar Turmoil

As political uncertainty looms over Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is set to meet the Governor today, according to sources. The meeting comes amid speculation of Nitish Kumar breaking away from the Mahagathbandhan government, with a possible shift back to the NDA. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is also scheduled to hold a meeting in Patna to strategize over the unfolding political situation.

Mahagathbandhan on the Brink of Collapse

The ruling coalition in Bihar, consisting of JD(U), RJD, and Congress, faces a potential breakdown. There are strong indications that Nitish Kumar might rejoin the NDA, the alliance he left in 2022 to form the ‘mahagathbandhan.’ With the BJP holding the largest number of Lok Sabha members in Bihar, the political landscape is poised for a significant shift.

BJP’s Assessment and Response to Bihar Situation

Bihar BJP Chief, Samrat Choudhary, downplayed the situation, asserting that the party’s high command is unaware of any imminent developments. Choudhary mentioned that the BJP would assess the Bihar scenario before making any decisions, emphasizing that the party awaits information from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

If Nitish Kumar decides to cross over, it would mark the fourth instance of him switching sides, potentially altering the political landscape in Bihar.
