Nitish Kumar was sworn in by Bihar governor Rajendra Arlekar at Raj Bhavan in the presence of senior leaders, including BJP national president J P Nadda.

Tejashwi Yadav, Prasad's son and former Deputy CM, stated "The JD(U) will be destroyed in the upcoming assembly polls." He added, "The game is not over for us. The game has just begun."

Tej Pratap Yadav, his elder brother, and Singapore-based elder sister Rohini Acharya criticised CM Kumar on social media, likening him to a "chameleon."

CPI(ML) Liberation, which supported the Mahagathbandhan government from the outside, launched a scathing attack on Nitish Kumar, accusing him of "betrayal."

Political strategist turned politician Prashant Kishor also took a swipe at Kumar, saying: "Switching sides has become part of his politics" and added that the BJP might end up paying "a huge price" for supporting the JD(U) chief who had ditched it in August 2020.
