Nitish Kumar returned to NDA before the general elections. Since then, one thing was heard repeatedly from his mouth, now he will not go anywhere. Had gone. A mistake was made – but now it seems that Nitish Kumar wants to correct his mistake by repeating the same mistake.
Nitish Kumar has maintained silence for the time being. It is believed that Nitish Kumar has adopted this silence after receiving the letter from Arvind Kejriwal, and not after hearing his opinion from Amit Shah.
The reason behind Nitish Kumar’s silence is Amit Shah’s opinion about him, but the excuse is Amit Shah’s statement about Ambedkar, due to which almost the entire opposition has attacked the BJP leader.
Nitish Kumar’s thoughts on Pragati Yatra have also been revealed, which seems to be a reaction to Amit Shah’s statement. In fact, when Amit Shah was asked in an interview about the leadership of NDA in Bihar, he said that the decision will be taken by the BJP’s parliamentary board.
Nitish Kumar was assuming that the decision regarding the leadership of NDA in Bihar has already been taken, then taking the decision in the Parliamentary Board seems to be the new stand of BJP. This statement of Amit Shah was similar to what he said about Eknath Shinde before the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Then Amit Shah had said, right now Eknath Shinde is the Chief Minister. After the elections, it was not him but BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis who became the Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
After the election results came, Eknath Shinde’s supporters were demanding implementation of Bihar formula in Maharashtra also, in which despite getting less seats, BJP had made Nitish Kumar the Chief Minister of Bihar in 2020. BJP has not adopted Bihar formula in Maharashtra, but from Amit Shah’s statement it seems that BJP has decided to implement Maharashtra formula in Bihar.
Nitish Kumar has maintained silence on Amit Shah’s statement, but the poster of his Pragati Yatra definitely speaks his mind, on which it is written – ‘When it comes to Bihar, the name should be only Nitish Kumar’.
It is difficult to understand the secret of Nitish’s silence.
The slogan of Nitish Kumar’s Pragati Yatra is exactly the same as it was in the 2015 assembly elections. That slogan was given by Prashant Kishore, who was then monitoring Nitish Kumar’s election campaign.
JDU’s new slogan is, ‘When it comes to Bihar, the name should be only Nitish Kumar’ – and the slogan then was, ‘Bihar mein bahar hai, Nitish Kumar hai.’
Once again Nitish Kumar has hit all the targets with one stone. There is a message for everyone in one slogan. For our leaders who are peeping here and there in JDU, also for BJP leader Amit Shah, and currently also for Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav in India Bloc.
In such a situation, while Nitish Kumar is silent, JDU working president Sanjay Jha has supported Amit Shah’s statement on Ambedkar. Be it the Waqf Amendment Bill, or the debate on the Constitution, or the issue of Muslim community, the words of former JDU President, Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan alias Lalan Singh are similar to those of BJP leaders. If seen, Lalan Singh is in a way following the wishes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Spokespersons of all BJP’s allies should speak the language of NDA – but in the current situation, this does not suit Nitish Kumar.
It is possible that Nitish Kumar does not have any objection to Amit Shah’s statement on Ambedkar in the same way as he did with the abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, or the stand regarding the inauguration ceremony of Ram Mandir. But how can Amit Shah’s opinion regarding the leadership of NDA in Bihar be tolerated?
What is the impact of Kejriwal’s letter?
The entire opposition is creating ruckus over Amit Shah’s statement on Ambedkar in Parliament. Terming Amit Shah’s statement as an insult to Ambedkar, Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to Nitish Kumar. Kejriwal has also written a similar letter to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Arvind Kejriwal’s advice is that Nitish and Naidu should reconsider supporting the BJP government at the Centre. It may be difficult for the NDA government at the Center if TDP and JDU withdraw their support.
Politics is being felt in the developments after Arvind Kejriwal’s letter. It is also a coincidence that Nitish Kumar’s health deteriorated during that time.
went, and the Chief Minister of Bihar remained silent. Due to ill health, all the programs of Nitish Kumar were cancelled.
The mystery has started deepening with the latest silence of Nitish Kumar. It is said that Nitish Kumar is very angry with both Amit Shah’s statements about himself and Ambedkar.
Why is BJP sometimes yes and sometimes no on Nitish’s leadership?
Feeling the displeasure of Nitish Kumar after Amit Shah’s statement, the entire BJP staff seems to be engaged in damage control. First of all, it is very difficult for Nitish Kumar to return to the Grand Alliance, and the Chief Minister’s chair can also be in danger.
It is possible that in exchange of the Chief Minister’s chair, Lalu Yadav may offer the post of Prime Minister in changed circumstances. But, there is already a dispute going on for the post of Prime Minister in the India Block. Lalu Yadav has said that he will hand over the leadership of India Block to Mamata Banerjee.
Rahul Gandhi is a permanent contender for the post of Prime Minister from the Congress side. Mamta Banerjee has also joined the race again. In such a situation, like the post of Chief Minister, the chances of the post of Prime Minister are also less for Nitish Kumar.
In politics, when there is no direct benefit, then even the loss is seen from the perspective of gain. If Nitish Kumar thinks like this, then obviously this thought may also come to Mamata Banerjee’s mind. If Nitish Kumar gives a blow in case of not getting any benefit in BJP, then Mamata Banerjee can give a blow to Nitish Kumar by going with BJP with the same formula.
But, it will be difficult for BJP to deal with Mamata Banerjee compared to Nitish Kumar, and that is why the BJP leadership would not want Nitish Kumar to leave. Because, with the coming together of Mamata Banerjee, the government will continue to function at the Centre, but Bihar will be out of control.
