Nitish Kumar dumps BJP for RJD, set to form government afresh

The Hindu  

Political history repeated itself in Bihar after five years when Chief Minister Nitish Kumar did a turnaround on Tuesday and joined hands again with the Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal whom he had dumped in 2017 on the issue of corruption. Earlier, after submitting his resignation, Mr. Kumar told journalists outside the Raj Bhawan, “in today’s meeting of all my party MPs, MLAs, Council members and leaders they expressed their desire to snap ties with the BJP and immediately I accepted their desire and came to the Raj Bhawan to resign from my post of NDA’s Chief Minister”. Audio evidence Asked what was the problem with the BJP, Mr. Kumar added, “bahut din se chal hi raha tha…mere log aapko baad mein bata denge ”. Apparently hurt with Mr. Singh working as “Chirag model” to damage him and his party a la Eknath Shinde of Maharashtra, Mr. Kumar decided to snap ties with the BJP and he made another turnaround on Tuesday by joining hands again with the RJD and the Opposition grand alliance. But two years later, in 2017, citing corruption charges against RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav who was his deputy in the Cabinet at the time, Mr. Kumar joined hands with the BJP once again.
