Nitish appeared calm amid speculation about when he might resign and take the oath as chief minister again, with Raj Bhavan sources indicating this could happen late on Sunday afternoon
Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader Nitish Kumar was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the eighth time after forming a new Grand Alliance which includes Tejashwi Yadav s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and other Opposition parties.
Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav has again claimed that the Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance government in Bihar would fall and asked his Rashtriya Janata Dal legislators to be prepared for such an eventuality
“This is Bihar where four governments were formed in four years. Anything could happen over the next two to three months. The NDA government could fall. You all should stay prepared for it,” Tejashwi told RJD legislators during a marathon meeting at the 10 Circular Road residence of his mother and former chief minister Rabri Devi in Patna on Monday evening.

“There is a need for all of you to stand steadfast with the people. The future is yours. You must understand that everything is possible in politics,” the RJD leader and former deputy chief minister said while hinting that the Grand Alliance of the RJD, Congress and the Left parties may come to power in the state.
