One-and-half months after crossing over to the NDA and taking charge as the Chief Minister of the new Bihar government, Nitish Kumar has undertaken his first Cabinet expansion, with 21 ministers including 12 from the BJP being inducted on Friday.
Even as the promise of the INDIA bloc evaporates, another alliance is taking shape as elections approach. Few saw it coming, for few saw any need for it. However, staying one step ahead of its rivals again, and retaining its edge of surprise, the Narendra Modi-led BJP has managed to stitch three crucial alliances in the past few days, with more on the way.
ITS FLURRY of tie-ups and induction of leaders from other parties would eventually have led to the situation the the BJP finds itself facing in Bihar: a problem of plenty. Having signed up with the JD(U), it now has to not just find a way to keep Chirag Paswan and his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) happy, but also his estranged uncle by its side.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will share the stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bihar on March 2, the first time in two years.
A day before the Opposition comes together for one of its biggest rallies since the INDIA alliance was formed last year, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, ironically the leader who took the initiative to form the Opposition bloc, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will share the stage at events in both Aurangabad and Begusarai. Both are Lok Sabha constituencies currently held by the BJP.

Despite his frequent political flip-flops, Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar is out to remind everyone that there is one thing he has stood by steadfastly — the demand of “special category” status for Bihar from the Centre.
