The buzz surrounding Nitish Kumar's potential return to the BJP is growing, with Sushil Modi stating that the final decision rests with the party's high command. Modi, former deputy to Kumar in Bihar, commended the Chief Minister for his stance against dynasty politics, sparking speculation about a potential alliance between the two former partners leading up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Modi assured that the Bihar BJP would support the central leadership's decision, expressing no objections to aligning with Nitish Kumar. In 2022, Kumar had severed ties with the BJP to form a government with Mahagathbandhan allies RJD and Congress. Recently, he acknowledged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the decision to confer Bharat Ratna on his political mentor, Karpoori Thakur.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP, along with allies JDU and LJP, secured 39 out of 40 parliamentary seats in Bihar. They continued their dominance by winning a majority in the 2020 state assembly polls.

In recent days, discussions in political circles have centered around the intentions of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Kumar, known for making significant political decisions in the state's history, is once again the focus of speculation as the 2024 Lok Sabha elections draw near. Each time Kumar has taken such major steps, there has been heightened political activity in the state approximately 15-20 days prior.
A recent incident that added fuel to the speculation involves Kumar's unexpected meeting with the Governor of Bihar, Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar. The meeting, lasting about 40 minutes, has raised questions about the purpose behind Kumar's visit to the Raj Bhavan. Additionally, the deletion of a social media post by the Chief Minister has become another point of discussion, especially in the context of the recent decision to award Bharat Ratna to former Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur.
Furthermore, during a visit to Karpoorigram, his ancestral village, on the occasion of Thakur's birth anniversary, Kumar addressed issues related to dynasty politics. These statements, along with others made during the visit, suggest that Nitish Kumar may be gearing up to take a significant political step.
