A day after Nitish Kumar dumped Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and joined hands with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form the government, RJD workers today resorted to lawlessness and violence in Saran. They attacked District Magistrate when he came to clear the blockade on JP Setu which connects Saran with Patna. RJD workers even created ruckus in other parts of Bihar too. Meanwhile, earlier today, Nitish Kumar was once again sworn-in as the chief minister with BJP's support. With this, Nitish Kumar has nearly killed Opposition's chances to form a Grand Alliance, on the lines of the mahagatbandhan in Bihar, ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
