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.




 

Modi's first expansion of his cabinet

Modi, Indira Gandhi and “Imposed“ Chief Ministers; The electoral victories in Haryana and Maharashtra of BJP has had two consequences. All the critics of Narendra Modi had to shut up. Then the second more controversial consequence is that Modi  has become an all powerful political figure in India and therefore can appoint anyone he likes as Chief Ministers. The selection of two total novices as Chief Ministers of Haryana and big economic state of India Maharashtra has caused shock and an anticipation that things will definitely go wrong. Who are Chief Ministers Manohar Lal Khattar of Haryana and Devendra  Fadnavis of Maharashtra? The BJP says they are new faces, clean and generally wonderful fellows. No one has heard of them before. Neither of them has any experience in running any part of a state government. Narendra Modi might like them. But is that enough to be Chief Ministers of two most important states, where the BJP has never formed a government?
