More than two weeks after he joined the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and took oath as Bihar Chief Minister for a ninth time, Nitish Kumar will face a floor test in the Bihar Assembly on Monday.
he floor test of the new Bihar government is set to take place in the assembly on Monday, February 12. The new state government is led by the coalition of Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) (HAMS).
The Enforcement Directorate questioned RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav for more than eight hours on Tuesday in connection with a money laundering case. The development came a day after the agency quizzed his father Lalu Prasad Yadav about an alleged land-for-jobs scam. Opposition leaders meanwhile asserted that the BJP’s top leadership was ‘afraid’ and targeting them by ‘misusing’ the central probe agencies.
A day after JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar walked out of the Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) to rejoin the BJP-led NDA and become the Chief Minister for the ninth time, RJD national vice president and veteran socialist leader Shivanand Tiwari speaks to The Indian Express on various issues ranging from Nitish’s move and its ramifications for the Opposition camp to RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav’s political trajectory. Excerpts:
NITISH Kumar’s betrayal of his partner RJD — again — to stake claim to form a government with the BJP is a test for the leadership for the RJD’s young heir Tejashwi Yadav, who came into his own only in the 2020 Assembly elections, with the phasing out of Lalu Prasad, his ailing father and Nitish’s contemporary who has perhaps seen the JD(U) supremo do this enough times to not be fazed.
There are indications that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will quit the alliance with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Sunday and stake claim to form the government with the BJP, marking the fourth time in over a decade of him switching sides in just over a decade.
BIHAR Chief Minister Nitish Kumar got closer to snapping his JD(U)’s ties with ally RJD amid indications that he would quit Sunday and stake claim to form a government with BJP.
Nitish Kumar is set to resign as the Bihar Chief Minister on Saturday, sources told earlier in he evening. Kumar is likely to take oath as the chief minister with the new NDA cabinet on Sunday, the report said.
