Patna, Jan 2 (NationPress) The political climate in Bihar has become increasingly charged as RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav revealed his readiness to reconcile with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who was once part of the mahagathbandhan.
When questioned about his willingness to welcome the Bihar Chief Minister back, Lalu replied on Wednesday night, "My door is always open. Nitish Kumar should also keep his door open."
On the matter of forgiveness should Nitish decide to return, Lalu mentioned, "Forgiving has been my job. If he comes back, I will forgive him without any problem. Everyone will work together."
Such remarks suggest a potential revival of their alliance, stirring curiosity in the already vibrant political arena of Bihar.
However, the political narrative in Bihar has taken an interesting turn with conflicting opinions from Lalu Prasad and his son, Tejashwi Yadav, concerning possible reconciliation with Nitish Kumar.
Tejashwi Yadav, who leads the Opposition and is the RJD’s second-in-command, has consistently dismissed the idea of partnering with Nitish Kumar.
In a statement made shortly after Lalu’s comments, Tejashwi reaffirmed his position during the swearing-in ceremony of Bihar’s new Governor on Thursday.
Tejashwi previously stated, "Our door is closed for Nitish Kumar forever. We do not need him."
He further emphasized, "There is nothing left in Nitish now. The people of Bihar trust me, and this time we will form the government on our own."
This showcases Tejashwi’s confidence in his rising political influence and his belief that the RJD can succeed without Nitish Kumar’s backing.
The differing perspectives of Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi Yadav reveal a rift within the RJD.
While Lalu, a veteran in politics, recognizes the strategic significance of Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi seems resolute in forging his own path, trusting that the public support he enjoys is adequate for electoral victory.
As Bihar prepares for upcoming elections, all significant parties, including the RJD and the NDA, are ramping up their efforts.
RJD leaders are actively touring the state, while NDA leaders are directly engaging with voters.
