Nitish Kumar left BJP for the second time due to these 5 reasons and compulsions
Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar and the biggest leader of Janata Dal United, has again broken the alliance with BJP after 9 years.
Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar and the biggest leader of Janata Dal United, has again broken the alliance with BJP after 9 years. Now he is returning to the five-year-old path. That is, in the year 2017, where he left the political journey with RJD, he is going to take it forward again. It is not that this is a sudden decision of Nitish Kumar, but looking at the political developments, it was seen during the 2020 assembly elections that the BJP leadership is weakening Nitish and JDU, but now Nitish has retaliated. The reasons and compulsions due to which Nitish Kumar has decided to break ties with BJP again-
Upendra Kushwaha, a close aide of Nitish Kumar and the president of his party's parliamentary party, has made it clear by tweeting this morning that Nitish Kumar is PM material and he now aspires for the post of Prime Minister. Although Nitish has been denying it all the time, but it is Nitish Kumar's own style that a lot of things are cooked inside the house by saying no. Ever since the discussion about the break-up of the BJP-JDU alliance has gained momentum, sources reveal that Nitish Kumar has had two phone conversations with Congress President Sonia Gandhi since then. It is possible that Nitish may be the PM candidate from the opposition side in the 2024 elections. It is also possible that with her candidature, Sonia Gandhi is trying to give a special message to some other political opponents including Mamta Banerjee.
Nitish Kumar's political debut and training took place in the socialist ideology and environment. Along with this, he has also been associated with Janata Dal family and Mandal politics. The politics and political ideology of Nitish, who belongs to the backward class, also rests on this concept of socialism. Therefore, he has been a staunch supporter of the caste census. Ever since BJP has denied caste census and RJD has strongly advocated it, the distance between Nitish and RJD gradually started to fade and today once again both the disciples of Jayaprakash Narayan (Lalu Yadav and Nitish Kumar) together are visible. The special thing is that Nitish has also been opposed to the Hindutva polarization of the BJP and has been a supporter of rainbow politics.
The ruling BJP at the Center made many promises related to public concern in 2014 and 2019 before the elections, but it did not happen at the ground level. Inflation, unemployment, increase in the prices of food items due to the imposition of GST, increase in the price of oil and gas, among other issues, have created discontent among the middle class against the BJP. In this protest, along with BJP, JDU also had to become angry. Therefore, JDU has shown itself as a public pro-people by parting ways from the BJP.
