In a notable political development ahead of the 2025 Bihar elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has firmly ruled out the possibility of an alliance with Lalu Prasad Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Despite previous overtures from Lalu Prasad Yadav, Kumar’s stance indicates a definitive split from any collaborative efforts with the RJD.
This announcement comes amidst ongoing political maneuvering within the state, as both parties prepare their strategies for the upcoming electoral contest. Recently, Lalu Prasad extended an olive branch to Nitish Kumar, sparking a political tempest in Bihar. According to Business Today, this move prompted a cryptic response from Tejashwi Yadav, Lalu’s son, signaling potential internal rifts within the RJD over future alliances.
Tejashwi Yadav, a key figure in state politics and a member of the RJD, has declared himself the chief ministerial candidate for the 2025 elections. Despite his declaration, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) quickly dismissed the claim, emphasizing that such an announcement requires consensus from potential allies, reports ETV Bharat.
Additionally, the regional political scene has been marked by tensions over legislative matters, such as the Waqf Bill, where parties led by Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav have publicly opposed each other. The Times of India reports that these disputes further strain any potential rapprochement between the two parties.
Political pundits draw parallels between the current scenario and the historical context of former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit’s 2013 election defeat, warning Nitish Kumar of potential pitfalls while structuring his electoral strategy. According to thewire.in, strategic miscalculations in the absence of strong alliances were key lessons from the past that may inform Kumar’s future political maneuvers.
As the 2025 Bihar elections approach, the clear delineation of party lines and candidates’ declarations underscore the intensifying competition and strategic planning underway in one of India’s politically pivotal states.
