JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar on Wednesday took oath as the Bihar chief minister for the eighth time on Wednesday, besides RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, who is likely to be designated as his deputy.

Kumar, who snapped ties with the BJP-led NDA a day before and joined hands with the RJD and Congress to form a ‘Mahagathbandhan’ government, asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi needs to “worry” about the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. “Those who came to power in 2014, will they be victorious in 2024?” he said, while urging the Opposition to united for the next general election.
