Nitish Kumar took the oath as Chief Minister of Bihar for the ninth time in Raj Bhawan, Patna, switching sides again, this time with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Addressing a press conference after Kumar's swearing in, where three BJP leaders also took oath, Nadda exuded confidence that the coalition will "sweep" the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

The Hyderabad MP claimed that Kumar would now be the namesake chief minister and that the "government of RSS and Narendra Modi" would run Bihar.

BJP leaders Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha were also administered the oath of office by the Bihar governor at the Raj Bhavan in Patna.

The JD(U) president Kumar used to say that Owaisi is the B-Team of BJP, but now he is "shamelessly" sitting in the company of that party, the AIMIM leader said.

Calling on the Governor at Raj Bhavan, Nitish told him, "We have decided to sever ties with the Mahagathbandhan in the state"

Following the meeting, Nitish Kumar is likely to visit the Raj Bhavan and submit his resignation letter to Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar.
