Bihar Politics and Nitish Kumar: There has been a big political upheaval again in Bihar. Nitish Kumar has left RJD and joined hands with BJP led NDA. JDU Chief and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar called a meeting of MLAs on Sunday (January 28) morning and resigned from the post of Chief Minister. Now he will form the government again with the support of BJP and take oath as CM. With this JDU has officially become a part of NDA.
While BJP will have two deputy CMs in the state in the new alliance, speculations have also started regarding JDU’s share in the Union Cabinet. According to sources, Nitish Kumar asked the Prime Minister before resigning. Narendra Modi Had talked to. In such a situation, speculations have intensified that JDU may get a cabinet at the Centre.
Last time also there was a problem
Even though a lot of speculations are being made about JDU joining the cabinet, it is not that easy. The last time the NDA won majority in 2019, there was a tussle between the two. BJP had offered JDU a ministerial post at the Center but JDU wanted more than one minister. In such a situation, he rejected this offer. The dilemma before her was that if she chose this offer, only one of Lalan Singh and RCP Singh, who was then close to Nitish Kumar, would have become a minister. There was a danger of someone getting angry with this. It is said that Nitish Kumar had asked for two ministerial posts but BJP was not ready for it. In such a situation, JDU did not join the cabinet even after one and a half years of government formation.
This time the path is not so easy
This time the circumstances are different for Nitish Kumar. This time he has less seats than before and BJP is not giving importance to Nitish Kumar like before. After resigning from the post of CM on Sunday (January 28), the discussion was that Sushil Modi would take the post of Deputy CM along with Nitish Kumar, but the party has decided to make State President Samrat Chaudhary the Chief Minister in place of Sushil Modi. This is the same Samrat Chaudhary who had taken a pledge regarding Nitish Kumar that he would remove the turban tied on his head only when Nitish Kumar is removed from the post of CM. In such a situation, it is clear from the announcement of Nitish Kumar’s choice of making Samrat Chaudhary the Deputy CM instead of Sushil Modi that BJP has given a message to Nitish Kumar that the government will not run according to him but according to BJP.
