"Nitish Kumar didn't want to become CM in 2020 but you (BJP) forcefully made him CM... RCP Singh came to JDU as an agent of BJP. You (BJP) did not follow coalition dharma. We are not afraid of Income Tax, CBI and ED," Rajiv Ranjan said.

After the swearing in, Kumar and Tejashwi greeted each other. The RJD leader and now the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, Tejashwi, also touch the Kumar's feet to seek blessings.
