Nitish Kumar’s reunification with BJP amid ‘INDIA’ bloc split is rumored.
BJP has been showing signs of warming up to Kumar, who has swapped his alliance preference between the saffron party and the RJD-Congress-Left camp frequently while remaining in power
NEW DELHI: Signs of deepening fissures between Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his INDIA bloc allies have given rise to the possibility of his return to the BJP fold amid hectic efforts within the opposition camp to stall any such development.
On a day RJD president Lalu Prasad’s daughter Rohini Acharya took a swipe at Kumar for “changing his ideology as the wind changes its direction” in posts on ‘X’ following the JD(U) president’s swipe at parties promoting family members in politics, a BJP leader well-versed with the state’s politics said the party will be guided by its future political imperatives, and not past bitterness.
He, however, noted that any call has to be taken by the party’s top brass.
Bihar BJP president Samrat Choudhary arrived in the national capital in the evening to meet senior party leaders, including Home Minister Amit Shah.
The BJP has been showing signs of warming up to Kumar, who has swapped his alliance preference between the saffron party and the RJD-Congress-Left camp frequently while remaining in power, with its leaders toning down their criticism of him of late and even praising him at times.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah himself sounded more open to such a possibility in a recent interview. Asked about the likelihood of the Janata Dal (U) president’s return to the BJP-led alliance, Shah said the party will consider if such a proposal is ever made.
Earlier, Shah had often asserted that the doors had been closed for Kumar’s return to the country’s ruling alliance.
