    Nitish Kumar to take oath as Bihar CM tomorrow
    Nitish Kumar, the head of the JD(U), stated after meeting the governor of Bihar, "Seven parties and one Independent MLA back us. The entire group has signed the letter of support. "

    Digital Desk: Nitish Kumar is all set to take oath as the chief minister of Bihar under the JD(U)-RJD led 'Mahagathbandhan' at 2pm on Wednesday at Raj Bhavan.
    "The swearing-in ceremony of the chief minister and deputy chief minister will be held tomorrow at 2 pm," tweeted RJD.

    Earlier today, he announced his resignation after breaking the alliance with the BJP.

    "I served as Bihar's chief minister. I have now resigned from my position as chief minister, "said he.

    Hours after resigning as chief minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar announced on Tuesday that he has staked a claim to form a new government and has given the Bihar Governor a list of 164 MLAs.

    "We staked our claim to establish a new government by providing the governor with a list of 164 MLAs. He will inform us when the oath may be taken, "Nitish told journalists.

    Notably, Nitish Kumar, the leader of the JD(U), has been chosen to lead the Grand Alliance, or Mahagathbandhan.

    On Tuesday, Nitish Kumar resigned as chief minister of the state and broke off the JD(U)-BJP coalition in Bihar. After stepping down as chief executive, Nitish Kumar met Tejashwi Yadav, and the two are now planning to meet the governor to press their claim to the administration.

    Nitish Kumar, the head of the JD(U), stated after meeting the governor of Bihar, "Seven parties and one Independent MLA back us. The entire group has signed the letter of support. "

    RCP Singh, a former Union minister who left the JD(U) after a dispute with Nitish Kumar, claimed that the party's decision to break connections with the BJP and team up with Tejashwi Yadav was a betrayal of the 2020 election.

    After Nitish Kumar, the leader of the JD(U), and Tejashwi Yadav, of the RJD, met with the Governor and asserted their right to form a new government, the Bihar BJP held a core group meeting this evening.
