Expansion
The horse trading of MLAs after the mandate is called horse trading. These days, this derogatory word is being spoken with respect in the politics of Bihar in the form of words like ‘Khela hoga…Khel hoga’. In simple words, MLAs are actually being sold in Bihar. Only two things will be known on February 12 – 1. Who bought them? And, 2. If sold, what price did you get?
heavy day and night today and tomorrow
The day and night of Saturday-Sunday are heavy before the floor test in Bihar Assembly on Monday. Whether there was buying and selling or not, it will be known with the majority test of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s National Democratic Alliance government in the Assembly on February 12. If NDA has 128 MLAs including 78 Bharatiya Janata Party, 45 Janata Dal United, 4 Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular and one independent, then Congress’s claim that BJP was trying to buy its MLAs will be rejected. . If 45 JDU MLAs are seen supporting the government in the House, then the fun of Lalu Prasad Yadav’s party Rashtriya Janata Dal will end, because it is showing concern for the disintegration of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s party JDU. With this, JDU’s worries will also go away. BJP seems to be having the most fun in this matter, because hardly any MLA predicting the outcome of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will take the risk of leaving its side.
Only those who light the flame of play are peaceful
Must have played – Former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, who had raised hopes in the opposition camp, has got the message and now he is busy extinguishing the flame of his own lamp. He is aware that the leader with zero MLAs cannot make him the Chief Minister and the party with 79 members in the Assembly will not break its dream and propose his party with four MLAs as CM. The message has been sent as to what speed they will get from the double engine. By the way, it was on the pretext of Manjhi that RJD heated up the discussion about Khela. Congress added ghee to that hot pan by making the offer. By the way, this ghee now appears to be frozen in the cold.
Discussion from Patna-Gaya to Hyderabad
Must have played – there is definitely a murmur of this somewhere in the ruling camp. There is also preparation. The preparation is also based on seeing RJD-Congress. RJD has prepared to change the game with the help of Bihar Assembly Speaker Avadh Bihari Chaudhary. On the other hand, Congress has kept its MLAs in Hyderabad due to fear of being sold to BJP. Before the floor test, the virtual training being conducted by mobilizing BJP MLAs in Gaya in two days and JDU’s party meetings at the homes of its ministers are also being said to be an attempt to save them from horse-trading. RJD is already repeatedly talking about a parade to stop the selling. Meaning, there is talk of selling of MLAs till Hyderabad in Bihar.
