When BJP chose Narendra Modi to lead the party in 2014 General Election, ever articulate in survival game, CM of Bihar, shifty Nitish broke-off his decade’s old alliance with BJP that kept him in power all these years.
The electorates punished his JD (U) party, retaining just two seats. But Palturam (turncoat) Nitish, a dubious, untrustworthy politician in the eyes of many, came back to defeat BJP, albeit in Grand Alliance, (GA) in the Assembly elections which BJP was expected to win.
With tainted pseudo Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family members taking prominent role in this murky GA, now family under investigation by CBI and BJP wiping out opposition in recently concluded UP Assembly election, lustre Nitish again performed U turn, praising PM Modi as articulate, honest and effective PM and retained his post as CM with BJP support.
Could BJP trust “Chameleons Nitish” who changes his colour, his alliance at the drop of a hat? He condemned RSS as pretentious, communal organization, detrimental to national unity time and again but now a disciplined, patriotic outfit and PM Modi a God send gift to Indian politics who will win the 2019 election with increased majority. No wonder Indian politics fascinates the world and many struggle to follow it!
