Nitish Kumar's Bold Move: JD(U) Hands Over Bihar's Reins to BJP

In a significant political maneuver, the JD(U) has permitted the BJP to assume the Chief Minister's role in Bihar. This decision comes after JD(U) President Nitish Kumar stepped down, reciprocating past support from the BJP.

At a press conference, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary clarified that the new government under the leadership of Samrat Choudhary will seek a trust vote, backed by a majority in the assembly.

Nitish Kumar, who now eyes a Rajya Sabha seat, endorses the BJP-led government, signaling continuity and mutual respect between the longstanding allies. This development marks a historic handing over of power dynamics in the state.
