In January 2024, the Indian politician and eight-time [[Chief Minister of Bihar]], [[Nitish Kumar]], of the [[Mahagathbandhan (Bihar)|Mahagathbandhan]] block resigned amid rumors of him joining the opposition, the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]]-led [[National Democratic Alliance]] (NDA).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/nitish-kumars-first-reaction-after-resigning-india-bloc-not-working-101706421535326.html|title=Nitish Kumar's first reaction after resigning as Bihar CM: 'INDIA bloc not working'|date=January 28, 2024|website=Hindustan Times}}</ref> He joined the NDA and took the oath for his ninth term as Chief Minister of Bihar.

==Reason==
[[Nitish Kumar]] left the [[Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance|INDIA bloc]] and rejoined the [[BJP]]-led [[National Democratic Alliance]] (NDA) in Bihar, citing internal issues within the opposition alliance. Allegations against the [[Congress party]] for attempting to capture [[Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance|INDIA bloc]] [[leadership]], disagreements over leadership positions, and delays in seat-sharing talks were factors influencing Kumar's decision.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Why Nitish Kumar left INDIA bloc to rejoin BJP-led NDA|url=https://www.livemint.com/politics/why-nitish-kumar-left-india-bloc-to-join-bjp-led-nda-bihar-politics-jdu-rjd-alliance-11706435699140.html|work=Livemint|access-date=29 January 2024}}</ref>
