Days after NDA’s ally JDU secured 16 seats in the Lok Sabha elections and party chief Nitish Kumar emerged as a kingmaker, a large poster of the Bihar chief minister along with the words, Tiger Zinda Hai (Tiger is alive) appeared in Patna on Friday.
The posters were seen ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi as the prime minister of India on Sunday for the third time.
In response to the poster, several party leaders asserted that labeling Nitish Kumar as the ‘tiger’ is appropriate, saying that his influence significantly bolstered the NDA’s performance in the Lok Sabha polls within the state.

Although both NDA allies, BJP and JD(U), secured an equal number of 12 seats in Bihar, JD(U)’s role is pivotal in the formation of the BJP-led government at the Centre.
Colourful banners and posters lauding Kumar have also been put up at various locations across the city.
In response, senior JD(U) leader Neeraj Kumar told PTI on Friday, “There is no doubt that the party’s morale is high after JD(U)’s impressive performance in the Lok Sabha polls. The concept and ideas for such posters are generated by party workers, who then display them across the city.” “The JD(U)’s commendable performance underscores Nitish Kumar’s popularity among voters. Prior to the declaration of the poll results, he faced political scrutiny for various reasons. However, it is now evident that he is the popular face of the NDA in Bihar,” the JD(U) leader said.
