The RJD hit out at the AAP after Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the 2024 Lok Sabha election will be between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal. RJD leader and Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav said that Nitish Kumar could be a strong candidate for the prime minister's post if considered by the opposition.

Nitish Kumar recently swapped alliance partners by dumping the BJP and returning for a second time to the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan in Bihar.
