The RJD in Bihar has accused the BJP of orchestrating a conspiracy against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, following Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's abrupt resignation. The opposition party claims this move is designed to undermine Kumar ahead of the upcoming assembly elections.

However, the allegations faced immediate dismissal from state minister Shravan Kumar, a key ally of the long-serving Chief Minister. He reaffirmed Kumar's key role as the NDA's leading figure in the elections, dismissing any notion of Kumar stepping down from Bihar's leadership.

Despite speculation, Shravan Kumar confidently asserted that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will continue to lead the NDA to victory in the upcoming polls, while Vice President Dhankhar cited medical reasons for his resignation. These developments have added to the political tension surrounding the election race in Bihar.
