Expansion
The grand alliance government of Bihar led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has become unstable. This was evident from CM Nitish Kumar’s open thanks to PM Narendra Modi after the announcement of Bharat Ratna being given to public leader Karpoori Thakur and his comment on nepotism during this time. Some more clarity came from the social media message of Rohini Acharya, the daughter of Rashtriya Janata Dal’s national president Lalu Prasad Yadav, who donated his kidney, although it was removed after some time. But even after 48 hours there is confusion. The distance between CM Nitish Kumar and elder brother Lalu Prasad and nephew Tejashwi Yadav is clearly visible. Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Jha from RJD has clearly asked that the CM clarify the situation. Even after this nothing is becoming clear. Why? Read this further.
First know- why there is confusion within JDU
Nitish Kumar is the head of Janata Dal United and also of the state government. The Chief Minister is showing everything on track. On Friday, with his consent, the General Administration Department made a large-scale transfer of Indian Administrative Service officers. Then at night, the Home Department under the CM issued an even bigger transfer order of Indian Police Service officers. The Chief Minister is leaving for Buxar on Saturday morning. He will lay the foundation stone of the development work phase-1 and 2 of Brahmeshwar Sthan temple there. Here, there is a situation of chaos among the media in Patna. Someone is saying that RJD will take its MLAs to Raj Bhavan. Someone is telling the date of formation of the new government. But, the situation of fall of the present government has not yet come to the fore. JDU leaders are not saying anything openly, because the right to say anything on the latest decision rests with National President Nitish Kumar. By the way, the information being received from JDU’s inner circle is that the deal with Delhi has not reached the final stage. When it is confirmed, the CM himself will come forward and say why he is making changes or if not, he will tell that there was nothing like that.
Answer to seven questions in deal with Delhi
If Chief Minister Nitish Kumar sidelines RJD and forms government with BJP, he will ensure seven things first.
1. Who will be the Chief Minister in Bihar and what will be the format of JDU-BJP participation in it?
2. Along with the CM, the name of the Deputy Chief Minister will also have to be confirmed, so that there is no problem of coordination.
3. In what format will the seats be distributed in the Lok Sabha elections?
4. How will be the relationship of BJP-JDU with LJP (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan?
5. How will JDU’s participation be in Delhi if the government returns at the Centre?
6. Whenever assembly elections are held, what will be the format of seat distribution?
And, 7. If now there is a change in the government and they come with BJP, then what will BJP-JDU tell the public about this?
RJD is waiting for only one thing
Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, who is leading the government on behalf of RJD, was also invited to the foundation stone laying program of the development work Phase-1 and 2 of Brahmeshwar Sthan temple on Saturday. He was also called to Raj Bhavan on Friday. When he did not go to Raj Bhavan on Friday, JDU quota minister Ashok Choudhary was seen talking to the CM after removing the slip from his chair next to Nitish Kumar. Chairs will also be installed in Buxar on Saturday. CM Nitish is leaving by helicopter for the program organized in Buxar at 11 am. Frustrated by Rohini Acharya’s social media message, neither Lalu nor Tejashwi went to the Chief Minister’s residence to convince CM Nitish. There were additions and subtractions at Rabri residence from noon to night on Thursday and on Friday everyone was waiting for CM Nitish’s stand. Same wait on Saturday also. RJD has a strength of 115 including its 79, Congress’ 19, Left’s 16 and one AIMIM MLA to take Raj Bhavan. After this he doesn’t seem to be able to count seven. Therefore, he is now first waiting for a clear message from Nitish Kumar as to what he will do? RJD, on its part, has maintained silence for this reason. RJD leaders are just saying that they are ready for everything.
