On Monday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar reiterated his allegiance to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), declaring, "I am back now and will not leave again." This statement was made in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Kumar highlighted the historical significance of the JD(U)-BJP alliance, noting, "It was in November 2005 that we formed the government in Bihar for the first time. I briefly shifted sides due to encouragement from some party members, including Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh 'Lalan', who is here today," he remarked.

Expressing his appreciation for PM Modi, Kumar stated, "I want to congratulate and thank him once more. His contributions to the nation and Bihar are immense. I also extend my gratitude to all dignitaries present. The work he has accomplished for Bihar is remarkable."

The Chief Minister further announced ambitious plans to create job opportunities, stating, "We aim to provide employment to one crore youth over the next five years. Special assistance is being allocated for the establishment of new industries in Bihar, and we are taking significant steps in this direction."
