Nitesh Kumar Trapped in His Own Drama

While India is fixated on   Kejriwal, there is a much more serious political drama going on in Bihar. While BJP lost Delhi, Bihar will have new political equations favorable to   BJP.  The was the  Bihar fight erupted between  Ex- Chief Minister   Nitesh  Kumar and  present Chief Minister  Jitan Ram Manjhi  has become a  comedy and  Nitesh Kumar looks like the comedian  . Delhi is a small state with 7 MPs and Bihar has 40 MPs.  What happens in Bihar is closely watched by Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bengal, Odisha and Chhattisgarh.  Nitesh Kumar is facing a very embarrassing situation as one of his followers has rebelled. “A man in my position cannot afford to look ridiculous “said a famous Hollywood film producer in the greatest film “The Godfather. Nitesh Kumar looks ridiculous now. In May, 2014, after   Nitesh Kumar’s party lost the Parliament elections, he resigned from post of Chief Minister, saying   he was morally responsible. The country applauded him for his principled stance. Instead of appointing a senior and powerful minister as Chief Minister, Nitesh Kumar appointed a docile Dalit leader Jitan Ram Manjhi as Chief Minister.

BJP Made Too Many Mistakes in Delhi Elections

Strangely, it does not matter who rules the capital of USA, England, Russia or France. Can anyone remember the name of the Mayor of Bombay?  Though Delhi is smaller than most cities, the election in Delhi has become extremely important for politicians. The media gives more importance to Delhi than all the states combined.
The Congress controlled Delhi for 15 years.  In 2013,    AAP of Kejriwal defeated the Congress decisively and took away all its vote banks.  In 2013, BJP won 31 MLAs out of 70.   Kejriwal ( AAP) won 28 and  Congress  got  only  8 MLAs, with the  15 years  Chief Minister  Sheila  Dikshit   losing  her own seat. Congress   has not recovered from this shock.
