The new government will comprise Janata Dal-United, the RJD and other smaller opposition parties.

Meanwhile, Kumar’s former alliance partner, the BJP, has staged protests across the state against the new formation of the government. One BJP leader said that the people of Bihar will not forgive Nitish Kumar, calling his action as a ‘great betrayal.’

Nitish Kumar had won the assembly polls in alliance with the BJP in 2020. But, his party was reduced to a junior alliance partner after the polls with the BJP winning more seats.
