New Delhi: The INDIA bloc appears to be unravelling with a third key leader - Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar - likely to change camp. Mr Kumar, in a last-minute U-turn, will partner with the BJP in the coming Lok Sabha elections, sources said.
For Mr Kumar, 72, this would be the fifth change in camp. Since 2013, he has been swinging between the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan, all the while keeping his job in the state intact. He last switched sides in 2022 - barely two years after he had walked out of the Grand Alliance and joined the NDA.
