Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was offered the prime ministerial post by the Opposition INDIA bloc but declined, according to Janata Dal (United) leader KC Tyagi. Tyagi mentioned that despite the offer, JD(U) remains with the NDA. Congress leader KC Venugopal denied knowledge of such an offer. This development comes amid speculation of the INDIA bloc's attempts to attract JD(U) and TDP, both allies of the BJP-led NDA. The INDIA bloc performed well in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, winning 234 seats, while the NDA secured 293 seats, with the BJP falling short of a majority with 240 seats.
