However, following the embroilment of Lalu and certain members of his family, including son and Deputy chief minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav, in an illegal land holdings scam, Nitish broke off the tie-up on July 27 and resigned from his post. He then formed a new alliance with the BJP and took oath again with Sushil Modi as his deputy in a late night development.
