BJP again joins hands with RJD in 2020
In the 2020 Bihar Assembly election results, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took command with the mandate to form the government with the BJP, but in between he joined Lalu Prasad Yadav’s party Rashtriya Janata Dal.

A few months after becoming the Chief Minister of the grand alliance government with RJD, CM Nitish had started an alliance of anti-BJP parties across the country against the central government led by Prime Minister Modi. He had organized the first meeting of opposition unity in Patna.
