Patna, July 20 (NationPress) The President of Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM), Upendra Kushwaha, on Sunday called upon Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to make a decisive choice in a timely manner, warning that any postponement could result in 'irreparable' harm to his party, the Janata Dal (United).
Kushwaha, a longtime ally of Nitish, made this statement while celebrating the birthday of his son, Nishant, whom he referred to as the 'new hope of JD(U)'.
The remarks from the Rajya Sabha MP are particularly significant given the impending high-stakes electoral contest in Bihar, where the Nitish-led NDA government aims to regain power while the 'Mahagathbandhan' seeks to unseat it, citing issues of misgovernance and allegations of allowing liquor mafias to operate freely in the state.
Taking to social media, Kushwaha praised CM Nitish Kumar for his exemplary leadership in steering the state but emphasized that it is crucial for him to choose between leading the party and managing the government concurrently. He advised that it would be in his best interest to 'select one path'.
“I sincerely urge Nitish ji to recognize the reality of the current circumstances, that it is no longer feasible for him to handle both the government and the party at the same time. His extensive experience in governance should continue to serve the state, which is vital for its progress,” he stated.
He further remarked that the JD(U) national president should promptly make a definite decision regarding the transition of party responsibilities, asserting that this sentiment is shared by numerous party workers who are hesitant to voice their concerns.
“This is essential for the welfare of his party. Any delay could inflict irreparable damage on the party, possibly resulting in a loss that may never be recovered,” Kushwaha warned.
Wishing Nitish’s son a happy birthday, he said, “On this joyous occasion, I extend heartfelt birthday greetings to Nishant, the new hope of JD(U). May God keep him always healthy and cheerful.”
