Internet Flooded With Funny Memes As Nitish Dumps Cong, RJD

The Internet is flooded with memes and funny videos as Nitish Kumar ditched the 'Mahagathbandhan' on Sunday and went back to the JDU's old ally BJP.

Kumar will take oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the ninth time on Sunday at 5 pm. His decision to the 'Mahagathbandhan' has not gone well with the Congress and the RJD.

The Congress compared Kumar to a "chameleon", and said the people of the state will never forgive him for his "betrayal".

"There are many people like 'Aaya Ram-Gaya Ram' in the country. Earlier he and I were fighting together. When I talked to Lalu ji and Tejashwi ji, they also said that Nitish is going," PTI quoted Kharge as saying.

The Congress president said if Kumar wanted to stay, he would have stayed but he wants to go. "Therefore, we already knew this, but we did not say anything in order to keep the India alliance intact. If we say something wrong, a wrong message will go out. Lalu Prasad Yadav ji and Tejashwi Yadav ji had already given us this information. Today, it has become true," the Congress chief said.

'Aaya Ram Gaya Ram' was an expression used widely in politics in the 1990s referring to the frequent floor-crossing and switching of parties.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh claimed that the "political drama" was created to divert people's attention from the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. "Nitish Kumar, who frequently changes political partners, is giving tough competition to the chameleons in changing colours," he said.

Taking an apparent swipe at JD(U) president Nitish Kumar, Rohini Acharya, the daughter of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, remarked on Sunday that the "garbage has gone into the dustbin."

She posted on 'X', stating, "Garbage goes back into the dustbin. Happy stinking garbage to the group." This comment came after controversial remarks made earlier on Thursday, which she subsequently deleted. The RJD later clarified that Acharya's social media posts were directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, not Bihar CM Nitish Kumar.

An RJD leader explained, "Comments made in another context are withdrawn when vested interests use these for political purposes," regarding the deleted posts on 'X', where Acharya, based in Singapore, mentioned no leader by name.
