RJD

Bihar is currently engaged in voting across all phases of the Lok Sabha elections. The third phase of general elections will see voting in Jhanjharpur, Supaul, Aratia, Madhepura, and Khagaria. Vote counting is scheduled for June 4.

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.

Tejashwi Yadav also seized the opportunity to outline additional pledges, including the assurance of providing government jobs to one crore youth nationwide if the INDIA bloc, led by the RJD, assumes power.

The RJD's "unilateral distribution" of tickets has been the source of growing enmity between the Congress and the party for a while.

Three weeks have passed since Tejashwi Yadav's party was voted out of power on January 28 when Chief minister Nitish Kumar severed ties with the RJD and teamed up with the BJP to form a new government.

In Raj Bhawan, Patna, Nitish Kumar took the oath of office as Bihar's chief minister for the ninth time.

There might be two deputy chief ministers for the BJP led government, one of whom might be a woman.

Bihar Politics Crisis: Nitish Kumar has convened a session of the legislature party at 10 am on Sunday.

Speculations were rife on Thursday that JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar would return to the BJP-led NDA soon.

Led by senior leader Mukul Wasnik, the Congress's five-member National Alliance Committee (NAC) initiated talks with authorized leaders of the JD(U) and the RJD in New Delhi.
