Day 491

Well, I know that I was absent for more than three months from writing. Believe me, this time this absent from writing was intentional. I was having time and topic to write. But I wanted to have time for refining the content for the proper presentation. Actually, I was afraid that I don’t violate any guideline. Well, I’m scared of violating any guideline. 

But I think there should be some guideline for Mr Nitish Kumar. I think that either he is in deep love for the chair of Chief Ministership or he wants to create a world record for taking maximum swear in for Chief Ministership. Actually, in the last 22 years, yesterday he took oath for the post of Chief Minister for eight time. Actually, I’m totally surprised by his action which he took Monday. He was having majority in the Bihar Legislative Assembly in alliance with Bhartiya Janta Party. But he ditched Bhartiya Janta Party and joined hands with Rashtriya Janta Dal and the Congress Party. I admit that now Mr Nitish Kumar has more number of seats in the Legislative Assembly but one thing is unclear to me. 

In 2015, Bihar Assembly elections, Mr Nitish Kumar was having the same coalition with Rashtriya Janta Dal and the Congress Party along with Communist parties and few smaller political parties. Then also, he had quite a bigger number of seats in the state assembly but in 2017, Mr Nitish Kumar ditched RJD and Congress and joined hands with BJP. After 5 years, he had taken a U turn. This is totally confusing thing for me. I don’t understand that what do Mr Nitish Kumar want to do with switching the alliances. In both alliances, he was the Chief Minister. I think something sinister is going in his mind. Otherwise, I don’t think that there will be any reason for him to switch alliances.

As far as I have deduced by his actions, Mr Nitish Kumar’s decision to break off with the BJP and going with the alliance with the RJD is nothing more than political suicide. Many people are thinking that this is some kind of joke which Mr Nitish Kumar is doing. I think that he doesn’t want to be the next Chief Minister again. Switching alliances so soon has made him laughing stock in the state.

Till now, I used to think that Mr Nitish Kumar to be a person who doesn’t compromises on his principles for any post but now he has proved me wrong. For the last 17 years, he had always become Chief Minister while having alliance with BJP. But in 2015, he left NDA but again in 2017, he came back to NDA and now again he had left NDA. I’m waiting for anyone who can explain me the logic behind Mr Nitish Kumar’s sudden decision to quit NDA on Monday and quitting as Chief Minister and on Tuesday he took the oath of Chief Minister after having coalition with RJD and Congress. 

I don’t know what to write next? Still I’m shocked after watching the last two days in the Bihar political situation. This shows that oncoming time will have many twists and turns which will affect the political environment in Delhi also. I think right now its time to wait and watch.
