Expansion
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is looking ahead. Installing Tejashwi. In the insistence of uprooting the Narendra Modi government from the center, he does not even want to sacrifice the ‘faith’ of the Grand Alliance and is also trying to hold the hand of the national party, the Congress. once again in this campaign Upendra Kushwaha’s beautiful dreams became the grave, Nitish took such a thing as a joke. Why? Because at this time, under any circumstances, he cannot weaken Tejashwi Yadav by giving a deputy CM from JDU. He talked about the expansion of the cabinet, which is fixed after the removal of the RJD quota Law Minister. Then the Agriculture Minister of RJD was thrown out of bigotry, that’s why expansion has to happen. Why, how will the expansion happen and what is the possibility being created… Let’s see.
Actually, there is a lot of difference between the 2020 assembly elections and today’s situation. Then the BJP with 74 MLAs, fulfilling its pre-election promise, happily gave the chief minister’s chair to JDU with 43 MLAs. The crisis was just a trap that Nitish wanted Sushil Kumar Modi to be with him as Deputy CM from BJP. The result also came to the fore when Nitish broke the alliance with the BJP in the middle and joined the Grand Alliance. Nitish still remembers sumo coordination, Well, now coming to the current situation. Nitish Kumar made a figure of thirty-six with the Narendra Modi government at the Center as soon as he took over the chair of the Chief Minister in the Grand Alliance. Now, according to that math, Nitish has also moved ahead. The matter of handing over the throne to Tejashwi has been raised, but at present there is zero hope for it. Political analysts are not ready to believe that Nitish will leave the chair and move forward on foot. Still, he will not weaken Tejashwi, as he needs this warrior in Bihar for the fight ahead. For this, Nitish Kumar will definitely expand the cabinet after Kharmas. This will be extended till 26 January.
Kushwaha or anyone… impossible to match Tejashwi
Upendra Kushwaha will be made Deputy Chief Minister… This thing was baseless from the beginning. From where it started as news, the question is there. And after that Kushwaha’s mouth was also forced open that he was dreaming. Along with this, Nitish Kumar may not be in the mood to push Upendra Kushwaha too far because In 2020, he has seen the support base of his then party RLSP. RLSP had fielded candidates on 99 seats, out of which the deposits of 94 were forfeited. The remaining five also could not show any magic. Apart from this, he gave the responsibility of JDU state president to Umesh Kushwaha to get Kushwaha votes in the first term and this time in the name of organization elections, he took him straight to the threshold of victory. Anyway, those who know Nitish know that Kushwaha or anyone else…at the moment there will be no equal to Tejashwi. This is also because Rashtriya Janata Dal is present in the assembly with almost twice the strength as compared to JDU. 43 MLAs had come after winning the JDU elections. It has increased its strength to 45 by including the only MLAs of BSP-LJP. Whereas, RJD had won 75 seats in the assembly elections itself. RJD lost Kudhani seat out of its 75 seats, But before that he got his share of VIP seat of Bochahan and got four out of five MLAs of Owaisi’s party. In the by-election, the RJD retained the Mokama seat, which was vacated due to the removal of Anant Singh. Therefore, as on date, RJD has the power of 79 MLAs in its account.
What will RJD-Congress get in the cabinet?
The Chief Minister has clearly said that in the cabinet expansion, the vacant seats of RJD ministers will be filled and Congress people will come. On the other hand, the newly appointed State President of Congress Dr. Akhilesh Prasad Singh had already mentioned meeting the Chief Minister to increase the place in the state cabinet. In this case, see the present situation. removing the chief minister JDU’s ministerial percentage is 24.4, while RJD’s ministerial percentage including Deputy Chief Minister is 18.98. When this government was formed, 21.51% of the total number of MLAs were ministers. Now according to experts, the RJD is expected to get the same two ministerial berths, though Tejashwi is eyeing three. It is possible that the number three may also increase. On the other hand, with 19 MLAs of Congress, the number of its ministers is only two, that is only 10.52 percent. In such a situation, two ministerial posts of Congress are almost file, so that this percentage reaches near 21.
Trump card…Leftists can also come along
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is trying to bring the Left parties together at any cost. The government of the Grand Alliance came into existence, since then. This is also because, despite being with the government, the leftist parties often stand against the government in the assembly. Nitish does not want to have enmity with anyone except the BJP and the Left party is against the BJP through actions-behavior-thinking. In such a situation, Nitish is trying to bring the Left parties together even considering the enemy as the enemy. The Left parties also have an offer for a possible cabinet expansion between January 15 and January 26. When ‘Amar Ujala’ asked the leader of the CPI (ML) legislature party comprising 12 members, Mehboob Aal, he said – We like this government which weakens the communal forces and the BJP and has also received an offer. We are with you from outside, so that we can put pressure on the government for public interest. He did not express his intention to join the cabinet, but it can be possible in ‘public interest’. CPI MLA Ram Ratan Singh has been inducted into the government in a way by being made a whip. CPI MLA Suryakant Paswan also said that he is not aware of the offer, but it can be considered. In such a situation, it is not impossible to join this team. The numbers of both the CPI(M) MLAs were switched off.
