NEW DELHI: On a day of fast moving political developments, Bihar’s mercurial leader Nitish Kumar, soon after resigning as the chief minister, met Governor Phagu Chauhan once again and staked claim to form a new government. Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav accompanied him.
The JD(U) severed its alliance with BJP for the second time after their reunion in 2017 and joined hands with RJD-led Mahagathbandhan 2.0 (Grand Alliance) of seven parties for the second time. However, there is no change in the chief ministerial face and Kumar will remain the CM of Mahagathbandhan 2.0 while RJD’s defacto leader Tejashwi Yadav will be his deputy in the new coalition government.
As per the official communiqué from Raj Bhavan, the oath taking ceremony of the CM and the deputy CM will take place on Wednesday at 2 pm.
As JDU’s MPs and MLAs unanimously decided to quit the NDA alliance during its key meeting held on Tuesday,
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar submitted his resignation to the Governor and within an hour he reached Raj Bhavan once again and staked the claim to form a new government with the support of RJD-led Grand Alliance of seven parties comprising mainly Congress, CPI, CPM and CPI-ML.
