Nitish Kumar Swap

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's exit from the Mahagathbandhan alliance and consequently the INDIA bloc to align with the BJP is a "loss" for the Saffron party and a "gain" for the opposition alliance, Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK said on Sunday.

The INDIA bloc appears to be on the brink of unravelling as a third key leader -- Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar -- appears likely to walk out.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, after swapping allies and forming a new government with the RJD, has dropped hints that he has long-term plans for his deputy Tejashwi Yadav.

Former JD(U) national president RCP Singh on Thursday alleged that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the party's de facto leader, had decided to "ditch" the BJP soon after assembly elections in adjoining Uttar Pradesh earlier this year.

Former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi on Wednesday taunted her successor Nitish Kumar by saying he should swap posts with his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath.

Nitish Kumar deployed half his cabinet and all his political aides in this one assembly seat in east Bihar that votes next week. He figures the outcome in Jokihat will be seen as an indicator of his popularity, and his political capital, which rival Tejashwi Yadav insists, has depleted ever since Mr Kumar swapped his alliance partners after dumping...

Weeks after ejecting Lalu Yadav's son Tejashwi Yadav from the government, the Bihar government has signaled its determination to have him evicted from the palatial bungalow located next to the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's official residence as well.

A patch-up between Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his senior colleague Sharad Yadav is seen as a remote possibility now by many in the Janata Dal United, the party they have run together for years. Sharad Yadav is said to be contemplating launching a new party, accusing Nitish Kumar of betraying the mandate of voters by deciding to swap alli...

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who swapped partners last week to ally with the BJP once again in Bihar, today said that no one is strong enough to take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019, when he will seek re-election.

Sharad Yadav, silent for five days, confirmed today that he deeply disapproves of party colleague Nitish Kumar's stunning political change-up. "Whatever happened is very unfortunate, the mandate by the people was not for this," the veteran Janata Dal (United) leader told reporters at Parliament.

Silent on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's swapping of allies, his party leader Sharad Yadav continued his sporadic attack on the Narendra Modi government at the Centre. He posted one more tweet this morning - hours after Nitish Kumar's estranged ally Lalu Yadav invited him to lead the battle against the BJP.

Nitish Kumar took oath as Bihar Chief Minister for the sixth time on Thursday morning, 14 hours after he resigned from that position, ending his two-year-old alliance with Lalu Yadav and the Congress. He is back with the BJP, whose Sushil Modi was also sworn in; he gets his old post of Deputy Chief Minister back. Other new ministers will take oath ...

Nitish Kumar's bonhomie with Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems to have hit a trough just days after they swapped high praise. The Bihar Chief Minister has made it clear that his opposition to a Uniform Civil Code stands.

For the fourth time in the last two months, Chief Ministers Nitish Kumar and Arvind Kejriwal met in Delhi today and continued to swap favours.

Since Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, ended a 17-year partnership with the BJP, the two sides have swapped invective with impressive regularity. But today, BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha said that the Chief Minister who has become his party's sworn enemy should be considered for a promotion.
