Nitish Kumar’s wavering affections for BJP and RJD

The Hindu  

In the next few days, Janata Dal leader Nitish Kumar will be sworn in for the eighth time as Chief Minister of Bihar. A year later, Mr. Kumar was a key advocate for Mr. Prasad in a keenly contested battle within Janata Dal for the Chief Minister’s post propelling Mr. Prasad to the post in March 1990, for the first time. Mr. Kumar, whose Samata Party had allied with his former socialist colleagues Ram Vilas Paswan and Sharad Yadav’s JD just months before the general elections, parted ways ahead of the Assembly election. The BJP often argues that even when they had the larger share of the electoral pie they had supported Mr. Kumar’s candidature as Chief Minister. In July 2017 publicly accusing his deputy and Mr. Prasad’s son Tejashwi Yadav of corruption, Mr. Kumar walked out of the much-feted ‘Mahagatbandhan’ and back to the BJP.
