Enough of Bihar Drama, let's move on please

Let’s move on, we have had enough of Bihar politics this week.

Before we switch to some other important topic, think about what could be the future of Laloo Yadav and UPA politics in Bihar.

There are two strong and clear signals emanating from Bihar.

First, Laloo and Nitish are not in talking terms as media report suggests. Presumably, all doors are closed for further negotiations.

Secondly, Nitish Kumar has pressed for the resignation of Bihar’s deputy chief minister Tejaswi Yadav.

Laloo Yadav has no choice but to bide his time and see to it that things get better for him.

Laloo Yadav-led Rashtriya Janata Dal has made it abundantly clear that come what may, Tejashwi will not resign from his post.

Laloo would like to keep “Gathbandhan” afloat, for this Laloo would practice a lot of perseverance.

As things stand out today, the goal post has been set by both the parties and none of them is ready to blink first.

CBI and ED have registered cases of money laundering and scams against family members of Yadav family.

It’s important for Laloo that his son stays in government to avoid investigation agency as long as he can.

Nitish has made it point that Tejashwi must come out clean and leave the Dy CM’s chair.

Even if RJD walks out after Tejaswi’s imminent exit, UPA loses its sheen and united face before 2019 elections.

Laloo has been waging war against BJP for time immemorial, what will happen if Nitish walks out on the issue of corruption? The UPA will suffer immensely.

There had been ideological differences between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar before 2014 Lok Sabha polls as Kumar himself was a strong contender for the post of top job. Now the wedge has been bridged to a great extent.

Now Nitish and PM Modi enjoy each other’s company very well.

What stops them from coming together is their common hatred for corruption.  In this case read its Laloo Yadav.
