Patna: Fourteen hours after he resigned as the Chief Minister of Bihar stating he could no longer continue amid allegations of corruption in his government, Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar came back as Chief Minister when he took oath of office this morning. Nitish resigned over a CBI FIR against his Deputy and ally Lalu Prasad Yadav’s son Tejashwi Yadav.
Nitish is back with the BJP, whose Sushil Modi was also sworn-in; he gets his old post of Deputy Chief Minister back. Other new Ministers will take oath after Nitish wins the trust vote likely to be held tomorrow. "Our decision is in Bihar's interest, for its development," Nitish said.
