jrishi110 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2017 After nearly 20 months of ruling the state in alliance with RJD, Nitish Kumar finally decided to part ways with his partner, crushing the opposition's dream of forming a 'Grand Alliance' to counter 'Force Modi' in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The fast-paced dramatic developments on July 26 and 27, which saw Nitish tendering his resignation and becoming the Chief Minister of Bihar again in just a few hours, has given a big boost to the BJP which wants to continue its winning streak by clinching the maximum number of states for the big battle in 2019. Nitish has not only dumped Lalu Prasad, the corruption-tainted RJD chief, but he has also dealt a severe body blow to Congress, which has been trying hard to stitch an alliance of like-minded secular parties to challenge an 'invincible' Narendra Modi. From the CBI raids on Lalu's family, the Enforcement Directorate action against his daughter Misa Bharti and serious corruption allegations against his son Tejashwi - Nitish eventually snapping ties with RJD was a foregone conclusion. ____________________Latest News | News in India Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
