Nitish Kumar, who brought opposition leaders on one platform, himself got angry, future of opposition alliance in balance
Let us tell you that the sources of Janata Dal United say that Nitish Kumar does not agree to name the alliance as India. Secondly, he wanted that he should be declared the coordinator of the opposition alliance in Bengaluru on Tuesday itself.
In Bengaluru, the opposition with great enthusiasm gave the name of their new alliance as India and gave the tagline that Bharat will win. Not only this, as soon as the new nomenclature was announced, the leaders of the alliance made tall claims, but this unity collapsed in a single moment when the Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, who worked hard to unite all the opposition leaders on a single platform, got angry. Done. The way Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav left the Bengaluru meeting midway and went back to Patna has dealt a major blow to the efforts of opposition unity.
Let us tell you that the sources of Janata Dal United say that Nitish Kumar does not agree to name the alliance as India. Secondly, he wanted that he should be declared the coordinator of the opposition alliance in Bengaluru on Tuesday itself. Lalu Prasad Yadav also agreed with Nitish’s demand because Lalu knows that his son Tejashwi Yadav will not be able to get the chief minister’s post until Nitish enters Delhi politics. That’s why Lalu and Tejashwi also left the meeting along with Nitish.
Apart from Nitish Kumar, Rashtriya Janata Dal President Lalu Prasad Yadav and his son and Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav also did not attend the joint press conference of the opposition. All the three leaders returned in the same flight and left for their residence from Patna airport without talking to reporters. Let us also tell you that similarly, the Aam Aadmi Party did not participate in the press conference held after the Patna meeting and later expressed support for the Centre’s ordinance to bring Delhi services under the lieutenant governor. Congress was criticized for not giving. On the other hand, on the absence of Nitish and Lalu at the press conference held in Bengaluru, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had said, “Some of our friends are not attending as they have a pre-determined schedule to return.”
Meanwhile, senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi has claimed that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar left early from the opposition meeting in Bengaluru as he was upset over not being made the convenor of the new alliance. The BJP leader claimed that Nitish Kumar deliberately “did not attend the post-meeting press conference” as he felt humiliated for not being made the “convenor” of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (India). He claimed that anti-Nitish posters were also put up in Bengaluru when there is a Congress government there. Sushil Kumar Modi said that in the same way Kejriwal had returned to Delhi after getting angry in the meeting of opposition parties in Patna. He said, “Those who are unable to make up their minds before the elections, nor decide on a face, will not be able to pose any challenge to the country’s popular Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
Sushil Modi alleged that “by naming the platform of corrupt and family-oriented opposition parties as ‘India’, their wrong intentions are not going to be hidden.” The culture-oriented India of crores of poor, backward people will give a befitting reply to their elite, western-influenced and anti-Hindu “India” in 2024. He alleged that changing the name of the new mall where tainted people like Lalu Prasad, convicted in the fodder scam and Mamta Banerjee, involved in the chit fund scam, would not turn into real gold.
At the same time, Nitish’s party Janata Dal United (JDU) hit back, terming former Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi as a person who “makes ridiculous statements and who is not taken seriously even within his party”. Rejecting Sushil Modi’s statement, senior leader and state minister Vijay Kumar Chowdhary accused him of making a “headless” statement. “Sushil Modi is not taken seriously in his own party, as is evident from his sidelining,” Chowdhary said.
