Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Expected to Resign and Return to BJP Alliance

The BJP and JD(U) finalize a seat-sharing agreement for the upcoming Lok Sabha election, potentially securing a majority in the Bihar assembly.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is expected to resign and return to an alliance with the BJP, ending his party Janata Dal(United)'s two-year association with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).
The BJP and JD(U) have finalised a seat-sharing agreement for the upcoming Lok Sabha election.
If Nitish Kumar and the BJP join hands, they would have 123 MLAs, just one more than the halfway mark needed to form the government.
RJD leader and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has hinted that they may stake claim to form the government, despite falling short by eight MLAs.
BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi, who was deputy to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar when the BJP and the JD(U) were in an alliance, is expected to return as the Deputy Chief Minister.
