It's worth mentioning that Nitish Kumar was at the first place had taken the initiative to bring all the opposition parties together to take on the BJP in the forthcoming polls.

Meanwhile, the after resigning as the Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday said, "The mahagathbandhan is finished. I have listened to suggestions of all. The situation was not good in grand alliance. Now, if our erstwhile partners (BJP) join us, we'll proceed. We tried to make INDIA bloc but it was not working.”
