Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar tendered his resignation to Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, marking a significant departure from the grand alliance he formed just 18 months ago with Lalu Prasad Yadav's RJD. Kumar, also the President of Janata Dal (United), is speculated to align with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). With the governor accepting his resignation, Kumar will serve as caretaker chief minister until a new government is established. This marks Kumar's fourth political shift. The BJP, holding the largest number of MPs in Bihar, potentially opens a new chapter in the state's political landscape.
