The Bihar Chief Minister was one of the key faces of the INDIA alliance. He was one of the leaders who strongly wanted to fight against the BJP and took the initiative of bringing the Opposition parties together.

BJP Might Get Steering Of Bihar Govt With Nitish Tying With NDA

There are 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar and NDA wants to win all the seats in the general elections. While Nitish has been able to retain his position as the Chief Minister in the state in the last decade, his popularity and his party's electoral performance have seen a steady decline. As he joined hands with the BJP, despite being the CM, the BJP will have full freedom to run the government. Be it RJD or BJP, Nitish Kumar's 'political power' has declined. In such a situation, the BJP knows that even if Nitish Kumar is allowed to retain the post of Chief Minister, it will have more control over the decisions of the Bihar government than the JDU.
