RJD Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Kumar Jha told reporters in Patna that the JD(U) president should clear the air on the reports that he was planning to vault back to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) today asked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to explain his position clearly on whether he will exit the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) in Bihar.
Notably, Kumar had dumped the RJD-Congress combine in 2017 and formed a government with BJP which he had fought against in assembly polls two years earlier. He returned to the anti-BJP front in August, 2022, accusing the saffron party of trying to engineer a split in JD(U).

Even as BJP has intensified its effort to dismantle opposition block I.N.D.A. and break Bihar’s Mahagathbandhan by allying again with the Janata Dal (United) once again, Nitish Kumar is most likely to retain the Chief Minister’s post in the potential National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in the state with two Deputy CMs from the BJP as per the post-2020 Assembly polls formula.
