Why has Nitish Kumar parted ways with the BJP again? | In Focus podcast
Nitish Kumar has done it again. He probably holds a record for the number of times he has ditched his allies, only to ally with them again, in India\u2019s politics. There is, clearly, nothing ideological about his choice of partners \u2013 Nitish Kumar\u2019s decisions seem governed by one goal alone \u2013 how to keep his seat of power warm.\nAs he becomes chief minister for the eighth time in 22 years, Nitish Kumar has clearly dominated the politics of Bihar \u2013 with or without the BJP \u2013 and with or without the Rashtriya Janata Dal.\nWill the new alliance with the RJD and Congress hold? Does this new bonding hold anything for India\u2019s politics beyond Bihar? Can Nitish Kumar become the face of the Opposition in Lok Sabha 2024?
