Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will vacate the chair – even far and wide political analysts are not accepting such a possibility or possibility. But, in Bihar, a tug-of-war-like situation has been created for Nitish’s chair. Janata Dal United (JDU) Parliamentary Board President Upendra Kushwaha has rejected Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav for the Chief Minister’s chair. Now, in the course of Sampark Yatra, the prominent leader of Grand Alliance and former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi spoke of his mind that his son is more capable than any such candidate. On this, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav said that the public will make whoever they want. This is the right of the public.
Upendra’s talk was supported
Santosh Suman, son of Jitan Ram Manjhi, is a minister in the Grand Alliance government of Bihar. Manjhi has left for Sampark Yatra before the end of Nitish Kumar’s Samadhan Yatra. During this visit, he said in Arwal that nothing is done for the poor and downtrodden. In this 90 percent population, he is from the Bhuiyan caste. He said- “I don’t have any fascination for the chair, but many names come for the Chief Minister. Santosh is more educated than the people who come up with the name. He is a NET qualified professor. My son is capable of teaching such candidates.” Manjhi did not take Tejashwi’s name, but said everything about him. Tejashwi also replied. He said that “the Chief Minister is chosen by the people. The people have the right and they will choose.” Actually, Manjhi has supported Upendra Kushwaha’s stand in a way. Kushwaha is constantly saying that JDU has made a deal with RJD on this matter. Under the deal, Nitish himself has told Tejashwi the next leader of the Grand Alliance. In such a situation, most of the JDU leaders will not accept that Nitish Kumar should hand over the chair of Chief Minister of Bihar to Tejashwi Yadav.
