Nitish Kumar dumps BJP to join RJD

In the 243-member Bihar Assembly, Nitish Kumar’s party JD(U) was in power in an alliance with the BJP after the 2020 election. However, Nitish Kumar left the BJP on August 9 to join Lalu Yadav’s party RJD.

In an alliance with the RJD, Nitish Kumar has again become the Bihar CM and RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav is serving in the new government as his Deputy.
