In the 2020 Assembly elections, Nitish Kumar allied with the BJP, leading to the formation of a JDU-BJP coalition government in Bihar. Due to disagreements with the BJP, Nitish Kumar formed a new government in collaboration with the Congress and RJD within a year. As part of this alliance, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav was given the position of Deputy CM, and Nitish Kumar was sworn in again as the Chief Minister.
