Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, has made an unequivocal statement regarding his past departures from the NDA, calling them mistakes and promising that he will not leave the NDA again. His comments shed light on his political evolution and the challenges of maintaining long-term political alliances in an ever-changing Indian political landscape.
Kumar’s political career has been marked by several shifts in alliances. He was originally part of the NDA, but in 2013, he broke ranks with the alliance due to disagreements over the elevation of Narendra Modi as the prime ministerial candidate. The second exit came after he rejoined the NDA in 2017, only to leave it again in 2022. This time, Kumar re-entered the Mahagathbandhan, an alliance of opposition parties.
While these changes have invited criticism from political pundits, Nitish Kumar insists that his political decisions have been driven by the need for Bihar’s progress. He emphasized that while the political environment has changed, his focus remains on governance and stability. By making this statement, Kumar hopes to restore trust with both his supporters and critics.
