Remember Sharad Yadav? He was sidelined for the last few years and is no longer even in the world. He was the convenor of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Many parties joined then, in which the government was running at the center even in the face of danger of upheaval. It went well. So, will 15 anti-BJP parties from across the country gather in Patna on Friday to give someone a role like Sharad Yadav? The BJP is repeatedly questioning that such a long procession has gathered in protest against the BJP, but who will be the bridegroom? So, it is certain that the opposition parties will not choose the groom, that is, their prime ministerial candidate, on Friday. So, will everyone go their separate ways? No, for this the name of the convenor will be confirmed. Will it be Nitish or someone else? Is there anything for Lalu too?
What is in favor of Nitish, what is against – decision on this
This is the only negative point for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, repeatedly meeting and being away from the BJP. On the basis of this, some leaders of Aam Aadmi Party have also raised questions on Nitish’s determination through hoardings. On the other hand, the biggest and latest thing in Nitish Kumar’s favor is that he has called the anti-BJP parties fighting on different fronts for a meeting in a very short time. Nitish government minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary had made it clear regarding the agenda of this meeting. It was told that there will be no talk on the claimant for the post of Prime Minister, nor will the ongoing tussle between different parties be brought to the floor.
This role for the time being, so that there is a claim on victory
If we believe the information coming out from inside the Chief Minister’s residence, then Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will be considered for the role of convenor like Sharad Yadav. For the time being, if this happens, then it will be easy to decide on the claim for the post of PM in the event of victory. But, the way Mamta Banerjee and Stalin reached Patna on Thursday to meet RJD President Lalu Prasad first, it is also being raised that some role of coordination should be fixed for them as guardians. There can be a situation of objection if both the posts come to the elder and younger brothers in Bihar, so it is also possible that the names of four-five different leaders are fixed for zone-based coordination. In this, along with the leaders of the Left parties, any national leader of the Congress can get a place.
