New Delhi:
These days the market of speculations is once again hot in the politics of Bihar. There is talk that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is going to change sides once again. RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has once again made an offer to Nitish. Since then these discussions have gained wings. However, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav did not pay much attention to Lalu’s offer. He said that his doors are still closed for Nitish ji. On the questions related to this, Nitish Kumar smiled and folded his hands. This action of Nitish gave further strength to the discussions, because before this he had been answering such questions openly. At the same time, his party has not given much importance to Lalu Yadav’s statements. She says that she was with NDA earlier also and will remain so in future too.
For the last two decades, Nitish Kumar and the CM’s chair have become synonymous with each other in Bihar. Even whenever Nitish Kumar changed sides, he took the Chief Minister’s chair with him. Both times he has compromised on departments or the post of Deputy Chief Minister. Be it BJP or RJD, both have agreed on this point to compromise with them. Whenever he sees his Chief Minister’s position in danger, he changes his side. Speculations are being made once again in Bihar about his changing sides.
Nitish Kumar’s acrobatics
Manikant Thakur has been keeping an eye on the politics of Bihar for the last five decades. On the discussions about Nitish Kumar changing sides once again, he says that the politics happening in Bihar is the lowest level of politics. If Nitish Kumar changes sides again, he will create a record of betrayal. He said that if Nitish had even a little morality left in him then he would not try to change sides. He says that if he does this now in his last phase, it will be recorded in history and people will say that Nitish Kumar was the first in changing sides. He said that Nitish Kumar had publicly said in the 2020 elections that this was his last election. It was also visible in the election results that he was reduced to 43. But he repeats his own words again and again.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar inquires about the well-being of Tejashwi Yadav at the swearing-in ceremony of the new Governor of Bihar.
Bihar’s new Governor Arif Mohammad Khan took the oath of office and secrecy on Thursday. At Raj Bhavan on Thursday, Nitish Kumar gave a vague answer to Lalu Prasad’s proposal. He folded his hands and smiled at the media, “What are you saying?” When he was asked whether the state government would be able to complete its term, the newly appointed Governor intervened and said, “Such questions. This is not the right time to ask. Today is a happy day. We should only talk about good things.” At that time, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary was also standing there. While opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav said on his father Lalu Yadav’s comments that the RJD supremo was only trying to satisfy the curiosity of the media. He said, “I have already made my stand clear.” But the meeting between Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav on this occasion was also telling a lot, especially the way Nitish put his hand on Tejashwi’s shoulder. by keeping Asked about his well-being.
Lalu Yadav’s offer to Nitish Kumar
Lalu Yadav had told a TV channel on Wednesday that the departure of the Nitish Kumar led National Democratic Government (NDA) government is certain in the new year. He had also talked about keeping the door open for Nitish Kumar. This statement of Lalu gave strength to the discussions in which there were speculations about Nitish joining the Grand Alliance again. But Tejashwi Yadav has been continuously denying any such possibility. Rashtriya Janata Dal is not the only one making offers to Nitish Kumar, Congress is also making offers to him. Congress leader Shakeel Ahmed Khan said on Thursday that if Gandhi’s followers separate themselves from Godse’s followers, then we Are with them.

On the question of contradiction in the statements of Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi, Manikant Thakur says that actually both the leaders want Nitish Kumar to come with them, but they want him to come under heavy pressure. This will benefit them, that is, Nitish will be the Chief Minister. Will not be able to make any compromise on the post. He can also work under Tejashwi. Along with this, Thakur also wants that the way for his honorable departure should be decided by BJP. But now BJP is not giving them much importance. This is the reason why such news is coming.
JDU’s reply to Lalu Yadav
At one time in Bihar politics, Rajiv Ranjan Singh Lalan was considered closer to Lalu Yadav than Nitish. When he was asked about Lalu Prasad Yadav’s statement, he said, “NDA is strong.” JDU and BJP are united. This is a free society and anyone can say whatever they want. Lalu ji should say more about his words.
Assembly elections are to be held in Bihar by October-November this year. Now we will have to wait to see which way the politics of Bihar turns before the assembly elections.
