After Janata Dal United JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar broke ties with BJP and resigned as the chief minister of Bihar to join the 'Mahagathbandhan' which includes Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress among others, political analyst Prashant Kishor Wednesday said he expects political stability to return to the state. "I hope political stability returns to #Bihar now. Nitish Kumar has said that he is starting a new chapter. I hope he fulfills the aspirations of the people of Bihar, said Poll strategist Prashant Kishor, as reported by news agency ANI.
"This era of political instability has been ongoing for the past 10 years, and this is in that direction. #NitishKumar is the main actor, catalyst...As a citizen of #Bihar, you can only expect that he stands firm on the formation he has now built," he added.
While speaking to the news agency, Kishor shunned speculation of an alternate opposition emerging at the national level and called the political development state specific.
"I believe the latest political developments in Bihar are specific to the state. I don't think this is done with the thought of creating an alternate opposition on a national level in the country," said Kishor.
He also spoke of Tejashwi Yadav, leader of RJD - single largest party - playing a major role in the alliance.
"Tejashwi Yadav is the leader of the single largest party in Bihar, and probably he will play a major role in running this new formation. The people will be able to see how he functions in this new government," said Kishor while speaking to ANI.
