Opposition leaders targeted the BJP over Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s switch to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), with Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav accusing the ruling party of restricting a potential Prime Ministerial candidate to the Chief Minister’s chair.
“The BJP’s desperation in the face of defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. By including him, they have conspired to restrict a future Prime Minister to the post of Chief Minister. The BJP has insulted the people of Bihar and also their mandate,” Mr. Yadav said in a post on X.
