In a significant political declaration, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has announced his unwavering commitment to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), stating that he will remain a permanent member of the coalition. Addressing a public meeting in support of the NDA candidate for the Tarari assembly by-election, Kumar asserted that he had made a mistake twice in the past by aligning with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), highlighting his previous political shifts. He emphasized his intention to stay within the NDA, marking a decisive shift in his political strategy.
Kumar's declaration comes in the context of upcoming by-elections in Bihar, where the NDA is vying for victory. He has accused the RJD of attempting to polarize the electorate along communal lines, a tactic he claims has been employed by the party in the past during their time in power. This accusation is a significant point of contention, raising concerns about the potential for political tensions to escalate during the campaign period. The RJD has not yet responded to these allegations.
The by-elections in Bihar are scheduled to take place on November 13, with the results expected to be announced on November 23. These by-elections are crucial for both the NDA and the INDIA bloc, as they present an opportunity to demonstrate their political strength and influence in the state. The outcome of these elections could also have implications for the upcoming general elections in 2024, adding further significance to the political battle in Bihar.
