Former Jehanabad MP Arun Kumar, once a fierce critic of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has officially rejoined JD(U) in a strategic political move. The 66-year-old leader, who previously threatened to "break Nitish Kumar's ribs" after leaving the party, was welcomed back alongside several supporters. His return appears timed to counterbalance another Bhumihar leader's defection to RJD, potentially reshaping political dynamics in Bihar's Magadh region.
