'Bihar mein abhi khel hona baki hain': Tejashwi Yadav

The political landscape in Bihar is witnessing heightened tensions as Tejashwi Yadav, Deputy Chief Minister, and leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), expressed uncertainty regarding the future of the Mahagathbandhan alliance. Amidst speculation of Nitish Kumar potentially shifting alliances, Tejashwi Yadav remarked, "'Bihar mein abhi khela hona baki hai' (The game in Bihar is not over yet)."

The RJD has sought clarification from Nitish Kumar on the grand alliance and the I.N.D.I.A bloc's fate, but communication attempts have been unsuccessful as Nitish Kumar remains occupied. Tejashwi Yadav acknowledged the respectful relationship with Kumar but hinted at challenges beyond Kumar's control, emphasizing the need for patience and public service.

The unfolding political drama took a notable turn during a Republic Day event where Nitish Kumar attended a high tea ceremony, while Tejashwi Yadav was conspicuously absent. Speculations of a rift intensified as Nitish Kumar sat beside JD(U) leader Ashok Kumar Choudhary, removing the slip bearing Tejashwi Yadav's name.

Amid rumors of dissatisfaction within the Mahagathbandhan, including the Congress and the RJD, questions arose about Nitish Kumar's potential return to the BJP-led NDA. While JD(U) leaders asserted their commitment to the I.N.D.I.A bloc, the situation remains fluid, leaving Bihar's political future uncertain.
