Fresh churn in Bihar politics: Upendra Kushwaha's RLSP merges with Nitish's JDU
In a fresh, albeit expected, twist in Bihar politics, Upendra Kushwaha-led Rashtriya Lok Samata Party announced a merger with ruling Janata Dal (United).
Subsequently, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced the appointment of Kushwaha as JD(U)'s national parliamentary board chief.
The latter had quit JD(U) in 2013 and formed the RLSP.
Kushwaha was part of the NDA during the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and was eventually made a Union minister.
However, he quit in 2018 due to differences in a seat sharing formula for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
He was also a part of the Opposition 'mahagathbandhan' in Bihar before exiting the alliance ahead of state elections in 2020.
Electoral strategist and head of the Jan Suraj Party, Prashant Kishor, had an exclusive conversation with OneIndia. During this discussion, he shared his insights on Bihar's politics, as well as his views on the disagreements with Tejashwi Yadav (Tejashwi Yadav) and Nitish Kumar (Nitish Kumar). Listen to what he had to say…

The exit polls for Jharkhand Assembly Elections 2024 suggest a neck-and-neck contest, with the NDA slightly ahead of the JMM+ alliance. The Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA appears to have made gains in key regions, but the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-Congress-RJD alliance remains a formidable contender.
The predictions indicate a tough battle, with both sides vying for a majority in the 81-member assembly. While the NDA is banking on its development narrative and anti-incumbency sentiment, the JMM+ alliance relies on its strong tribal voter base and welfare schemes
