Nitish Kumar, the Bihar chief minister, has taken over as the president of his party Janata Dal (United) during the national executive meeting. This development comes after the incumbent chief Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh stepped down. Nitish Kumar’s prominent position within the party and his role in uniting opposition parties against the BJP make him a key leader at this crucial time. There were reports of differences between the top leadership, with some leaders expressing dissatisfaction with Lalan Singh’s leadership style. The party’s national council meeting is expected to ratify decisions made during the executive meeting.
