"...Union Home Minister Amit Shah made it very clear in the beginning that we will not accept Nitish Kumar at any cost. Even if Nitish Kumar rubs his nose at BJP's doors we will not accept him. BJP will not carry his baggage...," said BJP MP and former Bihar Dy CM Sushil Kumar Modi on Bihar CM Nitish Kumar.
Kumar had ended alliance with BJP
Earlier in 2022, after a few days of simmering tensions in Bihar, JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar on August 09, ended Janata Dal (United)'s alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). After meeting Bihar's Governor Phagu Chauhan twice, he first submitted his resignation as the National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) Chief Minister of Bihar and then announced the formation of the Mahagathbandhan government. He had entered into a Grand Alliance with the Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD)-led bloc after partying ways with the saffron party.
After BJP-JD(U) alliance, Rashtriya Janata Dal was hitherto the main opposition party in the state. After joining hands with RJD, Nitish Kumar took oath as Mahagathbandhan's Chief Minister of Bihar and Tejashwi Yadav was sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister.
