Amidst speculations, BJP MLAs hint at a potential Nitish Kumar and NDA merger in Bihar

Amidst soaring speculations of BJP and Nitish Kumar joining forces in Bihar, BJP MLA Gyanendra Singh Gyanu on Friday said that the NDA will win all 40 Lok Sabha seats in the state if Nitish Kumar forges an alliance with the JP Nadda-led NDA bloc, hinting at a probable merger.

The BJP MLA also maintained that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is fond of Nitish Kumar, and "everything will be sorted out in two days".

Gyanendra Singh Gyanu was not the only one who seemed to concur with the floating rumours, BJP MLA Tarkishore Prasad also said that in politics, "doors never close." "A change is certain. It is a matter of a short time now. In the BJP yesterday, the party has also taken a decision. Nitish ji is also ready," added Prasad.

"Bihar's political situation has been discussed in Delhi, and only after analysing the situation, an able leadership will be decided upon... There is absolute anarchy and political instability in Bihar... The decision taken by the helm of the party will be accepted by all the party workers," said BJP MLA Vijay Kumar Sinha, hinting at the possibility of an alliance.

However, JDU's partners in the INDIA Alliance have maintained that there are no chinks in the armour. "I can say with confidence that Nitish Kumar will remain with the INDIA alliance. Nitish Kumar has resolved to throw BJP out of power, and we have trust in his resolve," said Congress leader Prem Chandra Mishra.

RJD leader Mrityunjay Tiwari has also asserted that "all is well in the Bihar government." He also added that no force can topple the Bihar Government.​
