One-and-half months after crossing over to the NDA and taking charge as the Chief Minister of the new Bihar government, Nitish Kumar has undertaken his first Cabinet expansion, with 21 ministers including 12 from the BJP being inducted on Friday.
The BJP seems to be close to finalising a seat-sharing agreement with its allies in Bihar, with Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief and Jamui MP Chirag Paswan likely to score over his estranged uncle and Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) chief Pashupati Kumar Paras.
A close aide of Lalu Prasad, Subhash Yadav, the Patna-based businessman who has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a sand mining case, has been associated with the RJD chief since early 1990s.
ITS FLURRY of tie-ups and induction of leaders from other parties would eventually have led to the situation the the BJP finds itself facing in Bihar: a problem of plenty. Having signed up with the JD(U), it now has to not just find a way to keep Chirag Paswan and his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) happy, but also his estranged uncle by its side.
HIS ANOINTMENT has been more than a decade in the making. Fittingly then, in a state where a ‘rath yatra’ stopped by his father set politics of the country on a new course, Tejashwi Yadav is seen as having sounded his arrival with a yatra of his own.
Although Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar has returned to the BJP-led NDA and become part of the “double-engine” regime with the NDA ruling the Centre too, the long-running face-off between the state government and the Raj Bhavan refuses to die down.
A fortnight afterthree RJD MLAs crossed over to the JD(U) during the confidence motion moved by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to prove his majority at the head of an NDA government, three more legislators from the INDIA bloc surfaced among the Treasury ranks Tuesday.
THE All India Pasmanda Muslim Mahaz (AIPMM), an organisation working for backward Muslims, released a report based on the Bihar caste survey Tuesday, while demanding that the Centre bring in a stringent law against mob lynching and check “bulldozer culture” against the accused in a crime, claiming that almost all the victims of both such excesses belong to the Pasmanda community.
