Background
Bihar Political Crisis Highlights: Janta Dal (United) Chief Nitish Kumar on Sunday tendered his resignation as Bihar's Chief Minister to Governor Rajendra Arlekar, thus ending his 18-month ruling coalition with Lalu Prasad Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress. An official told PTI that government offices, including the secretariat, had been asked to remain open on Sunday "in view of hectic activity expected during the day," which might lead to a new administration with the BJP's support.
Kumar was ready to quit the Mahagathbandhan, which he had joined less than 18 months earlier, and inflict a mortal blow to the opposition alliance INDIA, according to a source close to him, with the JD(U) president expected to resign on Sunday and a new state government in place by the evening with BJP backing.
K C Tyagi, the party's political adviser and spokesperson, warned reporters in Delhi that Bihar's grand coalition government is on the verge of collapse, accusing a portion of the Congress leadership of continually "insulting" Kumar.
According to ABP News sources, the number of ministers in the government would be selected using the traditional system. JDU Lok Sabha seats would be reduced, with the party expected to receive only 12 to 15 seats in the lower chamber. According to insiders, the decision has been made to accommodate the remaining NDA alliance partners. The BJP intends to retain the majority of its cabinet members, but fresh faces will be given a chance.
The Deputy Chief Minister is expected to change. Earlier, Tarkishore Yadav and Renu Devi were appointed Deputy Chief Ministers. The cabinet composition will also follow the same formula. Along with the BJP and JDU, additional coalition partners like as the Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) are expected to be included in the Cabinet.
The Bihar chief minister has recently expressed his dissatisfaction with the INDIA bloc after failing to get a seat in the alliance's senior leadership despite his extensive political experience.
Speculation of an RJD-JDU schism spread when RJD supremo Lalu Yadav's daughter Rohini Acharya stated of Kumar on an X post that he is "changing his ideology as the wind changes its direction".
On the political situation in the state, Bihar BJP MLA Gyanendra Singh Gyanu said that a change is certain and it is just a matter of time now. He further said that everything will be sorted in two days and will there will be NDA government in Bihar.
