Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar

The BJP secured 240 seats, reaching 293 with its allies, 28 of which were contributed by Kumar and Naidu, who has made a spectacular comeback as the Chief Minister-elect of Andhra Pradesh.

Notably, the Janata Dal (United) is contesting the Lok Sabha elections as part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), following Kumar's departure from the opposition coalition he had previously supported.
