Bihar has entered a new political phase with Samrat Choudhary assuming office as Chief Minister, marking the end of Nitish Kumar’s two-decade-long dominance. The sudden shift has triggered swift reactions across the political spectrum, with the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) moving into action.

A crucial meeting of opposition leaders is scheduled to take place in Delhi today at the residence of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. According to sources, several prominent leaders are expected to attend, including RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, who plays a key role in Bihar politics.

The meeting is likely to focus on the rapidly evolving political situation in Bihar and its broader national implications. Key issues such as the women’s reservation bill and the proposed delimitation exercise are also expected to be discussed in detail.

Political observers see this gathering as an attempt by the opposition to strategize and consolidate its stance amid changing power dynamics in Bihar.
