Take a look at the sweet and sour relationship between Modi and Nitish


Lok Sabha election Results 2024: If narendra modi wants to remain in power again, it is necessary to keep nitish kumar and chandrababu naidu together. But Nitish is considered an expert in political flip-flops.Lok Sabha election Results 2024 The picture is clear. The BJP-led nda has got 292 seats, which is 20 more than the majority figure. The nda may have crossed the majority mark, but the bjp is not in a position to form the government on its own. bjp has only 240 seats this time. In such a situation, the support of nitish kumar and chandrababu naidu is very important to form the government.

272 seats are required to form a government in the 543-seat Lok Sabha. NDA's 292 seats include BJP's 240, TDP's 16, JDU's 12, shiv sena (Shinde)'s 7, LJP (Ram Vilas)'s 5, JDS's 2, RLD's 2, JSP's 2 and 5 seats of 5 other parties.If Modi has to come to power again, Nitish and Naidu will have to be kept together. But nitish kumar is considered an expert in political U-turns. If we look at history, there have been many times when the JDU president has suddenly U-turned. He has also left nda many times. Not only this, his relationship with narendra modi has also been full of ups and downs.

In 2009, when Modi was the chief minister of gujarat, he had to come to bihar to campaign for the lok sabha elections. Nitish did not allow Modi to come to bihar to campaign because of his image in the gujarat riots.

Nitish got angry after seeing the picture in the newspapers

After this, BJP's national executive meeting was to be held in patna in june 2010. Even before this meeting, discussions started about the Nitish-Modi duo. Pictures of both the leaders started appearing in patna newspapers, in which Modi and Nitish were shown shaking hands. Seeing this, Nitish Babu got angry and cancelled the dinner program with bjp leaders.

Earlier in 2008, when there was a terrible flood in bihar, relief packages were sent from different states apart from the central government. gujarat government also sent a cheque of Rs 5 crore for flood relief. But nitish kumar returned this cheque. This sour-sweet relationship between Nitish and Modi continued for a long time. But it came out in 2013.

Sometimes he gave a shock to Lalu and sometimes to BJP

In 2013, when bjp declared narendra modi as the Prime Ministerial candidate, Nitish Babu got angry. He broke ties with NDA. He did not want Modi to be made the PM candidate. While separating from nda, nitish kumar had said that we cannot compromise with our basic principles. He was forced to separate from NDA. After this, he contested the lok sabha elections in 2014 along with Lalu Yadav, but JDU suffered heavy losses.

After losing this election, nitish kumar took moral responsibility and resigned from the post of Chief Minister. After this, in 2015, he contested the assembly elections in alliance with RJD. It got tremendous success and formed the government with Lalu. But two years later in 2017, Nitish turned around and joined NDA. Fought the lok sabha elections in 2019 and the assembly elections in 2020 with BJP. After this, in 2022, he turned around and joined RJD. Now in 2024, he again turned around and joined NDA.
