A Strategic Move Before Polls- Nitish Kumar
With Bihar expected to go to the polls in the coming months, this meeting indicates the beginning of serious negotiations within the NDA camp. While no official statement has been released, party insiders suggest that both leaders are aiming to present a united front to counter the opposition’s narrative.
BJP leaders close to the developments indicated that a seat-sharing formula may soon be finalized, keeping in mind ground realities, past performance, and regional dynamics.
Nitish Kumar’s return to the NDA in 2024 was a major political turning point, especially after his brief alliance with the opposition bloc.

The coming days are expected to witness more such meetings between senior NDA leaders as the alliance sharpens its election roadmap for Bihar.
