How often did Nitish Kumar change his partners?
Patna: ‘Bihar is outside, Nitish Kumar is here’, this slogan has been running in the politics of the state for the last several years. It has been said that no matter who wins the elections here, only Nitish Kumar will sit on the CM’s chair. This is also true. Nitish Kumar became the Chief Minister of Bihar for the first time in the year 2000, but he could not prove his majority in the Assembly and he resigned within seven days.
After this, he sat on the chair of the head of the state from November 2005 and has been sitting since then. Although Jitan Ram Manjhi was also made the Chief Minister for some time, but the real power was in his hands. However, one thing has remained the same in these 19 years that Nitish Kumar has changed his mind many times. He has changed his partners, but he has not changed his position. Chief Minister was always prefixed to his name. Now once again it is being said that Nitish Kumar is going to change sides again. According to sources, he may once again join NDA.

He started changing his partners in the year 2013 and since then he has changed sides thrice and if he does the same this time too, it will be the fourth time.
