Nitish Kumar back as Bihar Chief Minister for 6th time

Patna, July 27 : Nitish Kumar was sworn in as the Bihar Chief Minister for the sixth time on Thursday. The JD(U) leader had unexpectedly resigned on Wednesday, but hours later joined hands with the BJP to reclaim the government in a stunning political manoeuvre that relegated his alliance partner RJD to the opposition. The ostensible reason for Kumar to quit was his falling out with Deputy Chief Minister Teshaswi Yadav, the son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad. Yadav is facing corruption charges but had refused to step down despite Kumar’s exhortations.
