Nitish has been attacked by his former allies for swapping parties. While Congress called him 'Paltu', former Deputy CM of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav said that the "game is not over yet".

Speaking to ANI, Yadav said that the recent development in the state is not a pause, but the game, according to him is yet to begin in Bihar.

"He was a tired CM. Khel abhi shuru huai, khel abhi baki hain. I can give you in writing that the JDU party will be finished in 2024. The public is with us..." he said.

"INDIA alliance is strong. Jo hota hai ache ke liye hota hai... (whatever happens, it is for good)" he added.

He also credited the grand alliance rule for the development of the state in the last 17 months.
