Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached out to Nitish Kumar to extend congratulations before the Bihar Chief Minister's resignation, marking his departure from the Mahagathbandhan alliance with RJD and Congress. Nitish Kumar's decision to step down precedes his expected reentry into the BJP-led NDA coalition. Amid speculation, the BJP is anticipated to offer support to JD(U) for forming a new government. Nitish Kumar cited discord within the alliance as the reason for his resignation, prompting comparisons to a "chameleon" by Congress leaders. The political landscape in Bihar undergoes a significant shift as Nitish Kumar prepares for a ninth term as Chief Minister.
