Nitish Kumar’s Past Resignation and Current Stance.
Jungle Raj in Bihar: How BJP Weakened Nitish Kumar! NDA, On 5th August 1999, a big train accident took place in Gasal, Assam. At that time, there was a BJP government at the center, and Nitish Kumar was the Railway Minister. As soon as the news of the train accident came, Nitish Kumar immediately took moral responsibility and resigned from the post of minister. However, today Nitish Kumar has changed. Twenty years ago, Nitish Kumar was ready to leave the post of minister over an incident, but today, despite a significant incident, he is not ready to take responsibility, let alone leave the chair.
Current Issues in Bihar’s Law and Order.
The life of the party’s father Chitan Saini was taken in his house in Supol Bazar village in Darbhanga, and Nitish Kumar remains silent on this matter. Taking responsibility is a far-fetched idea, especially when Nitish Kumar also holds the Home Ministry. Currently, Nitish Kumar is badly surrounded by both corruption and crime cases in Bihar, but he is so attached to the chair that no party is willing to offer him less than the Home Ministry. When the pressure of the opposition increases, he joins them but does not leave the chair. Nitish Kumar is not ready to take any kind of responsibility. Taking responsibility means leaving his chair. And for the chair, he has changed allegiances many times in the last ten years.
Opposition’s Criticism and Governance Questions.
Now there is a constant discussion in Bihar about this, and his so-called good governance is also under scrutiny. In Bihar, the father of Vikasheel Insaan Party’s Mukesh Saini was killed in his house. Since then, the opposition has been asking Nitish, being the Home Minister of the state, if he will take responsibility. Nitish Kumar is continuously failing on the law and order front and appears weak. This raises the question of whether he will leave the Home Ministry.
BJP’s Pressure and Internal Conflicts.
Actually, this time when Nitish Kumar turned his back, BJP put tremendous pressure on him to leave the Home Ministry. However, Nitish Kumar kept the Home Ministry with himself. Now, when questions are being raised about the law and order situation in Bihar, the statements of BJP leaders are only increasing Nitish Kumar’s problems. Regarding the killing of Mukesh Saini’s father, a BJP spokesperson said that crime cannot be stopped in a civilized society, comparing it to the attack on Trump in America. But it is clear that the police will do their job. Ajay Alok, instead of defending Nitish, said.
BJP’s Political Strategy and Future Elections.
In fact, BJP’s target is not only the Home Ministry in the Bihar government but also Nitish Kumar’s top post. Therefore, while opposition parties are attacking Nitish, BJP leaders are not seen defending him. BJP has left Nitish alone to answer the opposition’s questions. Modi’s ‘Humaan’ has also cornered Nitish Kumar with questions about corruption. Especially regarding the way bridges are falling in Bihar, Chirag said that something is wrong somewhere, and it is clear that something is wrong. BJP, being a partner in the Bihar government, cannot directly attack Nitish Kumar but is also not seen defending him either. It is clear that BJP sees its benefit in Nitish’s failure and the tarnishing of his image.
Impact on Bihar and Upcoming Elections.
Eyes are fixed on 2025. BJP may be claiming that it will contest the assembly elections under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, but pressure is being created for Nitish Kumar to leave the chair. A question is also being raised: if the situation in Bihar keeps deteriorating like this, it will not only harm Nitish Kumar but the entire state will have to suffer. One thing has become clear in the Lok Sabha elections: NDA is not getting votes in the name of Narendra Modi. Modi did not have much contribution to the seats that BJP got. Narendra Modi himself was hardly able to win the election this time. Recently, an NCRB report came out stating that Bihar is in second place in taking people’s lives, and Patna has become the epicenter. Due to BJP’s attempt to become the center, the law and order situation of the state is deteriorating.
