Speaking about the era of political instability in Bihar, he said governments are changed when one's political or administrative expectations are not fulfilled.

"I see what's happening now in the context of the era of political instability in Bihar. Since 2013-14, this is the sixth attempt to form a government in Bihar. Formations are changed when one's political or administrative expectations are not fulfilled," he added.

He said that Nitish Kumar is the main actor and catalyst, and as a citizen of Bihar, he expect that the JD(U) leader stands firm on the formation he has now built. 

When asked if the political developments in Bihar will have impact at the national level, he said, " I believe the latest political developments in Bihar are specific to the state. I don't think this is done with the thought of creating an alternate Opposition on a national level in the country."

Kumar had on Tuesday quit the BJP, stripping the party of power, before resigning and staking claim to form a new government, armed with the support of the 'Mahagathbandhan' (Grand Alliance).

Kumar, who has submitted a list of 164 MLAs to Bihar Governor Phagu Chauhan, is likely to swear him and a small Cabinet into office at 2 pm at Raj Bhavan today.
