She shared a government advertisement poster on social media and called the situation a “serious insult.” According to her, the quick removal of Nitish Kumar’s image shows that the new political arrangement has already started sidelining him.

Continuing her criticism, Rohini said that before the resignation, allies feared Nitish Kumar might change his stance, so they praised his leadership. But after he stepped down, they quickly removed his image from posters and advertisements.

She also described the situation as a “Catch-22,” suggesting Nitish Kumar now faces a difficult political position where he may lose both power and respect.

The remarks have intensified political debate in Bihar as the new government begins its tenure.

Current Chief Minister Nitish Kumar may soon move to the Rajya Sabha. After that, he may leave the chief minister’s post.

Rohini Acharya reacts to Nitish Kumar resignation at a time when political discussions in the state are intensifying.

Following his resignation on 10 March 2000, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi quickly regained control. The RJD, with the help of independent MLAs, proved its strength in the House, and Rabri Devi was reinstated as Chief Minister. This marked another phase of RJD dominance in Bihar politics.

The election results revealed the tense political atmosphere. NDA secured 151 seats, while RJD won 124. Despite NDA’s strong showing in the 1999 Lok Sabha polls, it could not secure a majority in the Assembly. Nitish Kumar refused to engage in horse-trading, preferring resignation over instability.

The year 2000 also witnessed Bihar’s bifurcation, with Jharkhand carved out on 15 November. This reshaped Bihar’s political and administrative structure, while Nitish Kumar’s brief CM role laid the foundation for his future rise.
