Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will replace ministers from alliance partner Lalu Yadav's party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) with faces from the BJP tomorrow, sources told NDTV. The BJP and Nitish Kumar - who will likely take oath as Bihar Chief Minister again - have also finalised a seat-sharing agreement for the Lok Sabha election due in three months.
Amid the crisis, both the Congress and RJD called for meetings of their legislators. But Congress denies any connection to the evolving political scenario and claims that the meeting is to discuss preparations for Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra'.
Nitish Kumar's political journey, once synonymous with stability and development, has become a tale of flip-flops and realignments
Here are the LIVE updates on Bihar political crisis:
"I have no idea right now..whatever is going on in the news that is only thing, other than that nobody has said anything...whenever RJD comes to power, we have worked for the people of Bihar and we will keep working for them in the future also," Bharti told reporters in Bihar's Patna.

Mr Kumar had joined hands with the RJD in August 2022 after he severed ties with the BJP. He, thereafter, embarked on a drive to bring together all parties across the country to take on the BJP and that culminated in the formation of opposition bloc INDIA.
