‘Aaya Ram-Gaya Ram’, What political leaders say about Nitish’s resignation?

Live Mint  

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge commented on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's resignation by stating that he was not surprised by the development. Furthermore, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh in a post on X said that Nitish Kumar, who frequently changes political partners, is giving tough competition to the chameleons in changing colours. It is quite clear that the Prime Minister and the BJP are scared of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra and this political drama has been created to divert attention from it.” Speaking to media in West Bengal's Jalpaiguri, Ramesh said, “It is not surprising that Nitish Kumar has resigned. The BJP, PM and HM are perturbed by the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.This drama has been done to divert attention from the Yatra.I would like to say that Nitish Kumar is an expert in betrayal.” This move occurred amidst widespread speculation that Nitish might reunite with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, leading to the conclusion of the 'Mahagathbandhan' government in the state.
