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.
