"Bihar will find its alternative, which will be spontaneous. It might take a week, ten days, or a month but it will happen," Jha added.
Meanwhile, Tariq Anwar, Congress, said that "Earlier, Nitish Kumar Ji emerged as a good NDA leader in Bihar. But this time, his chances are not the same."
"The BJP has conspired to weaken him. Now even if he is elected as NDA’s leader or Chief Minister, someone else will have the remote to control him," he added.
As per the Bihar election 2020 results, the BJP emerged as the largest party in the ruling alliance with 74 seats, 31 more than the JD(U).
