The politics of Bihar witnessed a big change within a day. Within a day, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar resigned from the chief minister’s post, breaking the alliance with the BJP. By evening, with the support of MLAs of seven parties, he has claimed to form the government after meeting the governor.

Nitish Kumar told the media that all the people of our party believed that we should separate from the NDA, after which I took the AAP decision.

Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party, Nitish Kumar said that a controversy (communalism) was being hatched to disturb peace in the state, which he did not like.
