  • Nitish has his revenge, drafts in lone LJP MLA Raj Kumar Singh

    One Bihar politician who has hogged a lot of the political dialogue within the state of late is Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief and two-time MP from Jamui, Chirag Paswan. For a lot of the latter a part of final yr he was a possible challenger to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the JD(U).
    Paswan’s LJP did make a critical dent into the vote base of JD(U) and was primarily answerable for decreasing the latter to third-largest social gathering within the Assembly polls with 43 seats – behind RJD’s 75 and BJP’s 74 seats – however the social gathering itself ended with a lone MLA.
    On Tuesday, Nitish Kumar took his candy revenge, when LJP’s single MLA – Raj Kumar Singh, who received from Matihani, Begusarai – joined JD(U). The LJP now has no member in both state Legislative Council or the Assembly. While Chirag was seen as fancying his probabilities of being a BJP ally on the expense of JD(U) earlier than the Assembly polls, Nitish appears to have drawn ranges with LJP.
    There has nonetheless been no response from Chirag on this week’s improvement, however what might be extra discomforting is BJP placing LJP on what many see as a “long-hold button”. It was speculated that LJP had walked out of NDA in Bihar earlier than the state elections with tacit consent from the saffron social gathering – LJP put up candidates in opposition to all 110 seats JD(U) contested and on solely 5 seats in opposition to “friendly foe” BJP.
    While Nitish returned as CM, Chirag stored ready for BJP’s name to develop into a Union minister – in spite of everything, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held LJP patriarch and Chirag’s late father, Ram Vilas Pswan, in excessive esteem.
    But as Nitish managed to reassert his place in state politics, Chirag’s entry on the Centre is getting delayed. The BJP, it seems, doesn’t wish to displease Nitish. Even the Rajya Sabha seat vacated by his father’s demise went to senior BJP chief and former Bihar deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi.

    Chirag, nonetheless, seems to know tips on how to play the sport of ready. If and when BJP will get an higher hand over Nitish and JD(U), Chirag’s politics can routinely revive and reboot. Or so appears to be his gameplan.
