All Doors for Nitish Kumar’s Return to NDA ‘Closed’: Giriraj Singh
GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 28th Dec. Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Thursday put an end to speculations about Nitish Kumar’s possible return to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Singh stated that all doors to the NDA are closed for the Bihar chief minister.
He also claimed that the Janata Dal (United), which is the main partner in Bihar’s ruling coalition, will soon cease to exist as Nitish has lost social support.
Singh further criticized Nitish for his controversial remarks on birth control during the Winter Session of the Assembly, suggesting that a leader in such a mental state should resign from the post of chief minister.
“All doors for Nitish Kumar’s return to the NDA are closed. The person who makes such derogatory remarks about women in the Assembly should step down from the post of chief minister immediately. Given his current mental condition, he is not fit to hold the post,” Singh said on Thursday.
Nitish left the Mahagathbandhan coalition in 2017 to join the NDA. However, last year in August, he broke his alliance with the BJP for the second time and resigned as Bihar CM. He then formed a new government by partnering with the RJD and returned as chief minister, with Tejashwi Yadav as his deputy.
Weighing in the national executive meeting of JD(U), which is currently underway in the national capital, the Union Minister claimed Bihar would soon get a new CM from the JD(U)’s ally, RJD.
“Nitish Kumar-ji’s days as the CM of Bihar are numbered. He would only remain in the post for a few more days. Lalu Yadav has created a ‘chakravyu’ (trap) for him. The first step in this ‘chakravyu’ was making Awadh Bihar the Speaker of the Bihar Assembly. Nitish Kumar will become the former CM very soon. It is decided that Nitish Kumar will not remain the CM anymore. In the next few days, Bihar is going to get a CM from the RJD,” Mr Singh said.
Earlier, the Janata Dal (United) convened meetings of its national executive meeting and national council meeting in Delhi on Friday.
The meetings were convened by party president Lalan Singh amidst speculation that he could step down to make way for Nitish Kumar the Bihar Chief Minister to once again take over the reins of the party.
Responding to the reports, JD(U) leader KC Tyagi said, “I reject all such rumours. The party has convened two-day meetings.
He said the decisions to be taken in the matter will be divulged later.
Earlier in the day, before leaving for the national capital, the Bihar CM said Friday’s meeting is part of the party’s tradition and takes place once a year.
“This is a normal meeting; it takes place once a year. There’s nothing special in it” the Bihar CM said.
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, too, rubbished rumours about the resignation of JD(U) president Lalan Singh.
