In editorial Monday, Saamana said Nitish Kumar was the one who took initiative to unite all anti-BJP forces and called the first meeting of the opposition's INDIA alliance in Patna.
Samrat Choudhary & Vijay Kumar Sinha, sworn in as deputy CMs, have been critical of Nitish in the past. BJP's third pick, Prem Kumar, too, had been dumped from NDA cabinet after 2020 polls.
As suspense over Nitish's next move continues, his current ally RJD & other Bihar parties hold urgent meetings. Once called 'Paltu Ram' by Lalu, he has a long history of making U-turns.
Resolution adopted by party's national council says the Bihar CM, who will embark on nationwide ‘Jan Jagaran Yatra’ in January, is a politician with experience in running coalitions.
While BJP is demanding resignation of the 72-yr-old CM, saying his 'mental health appears to be failing', Bihar's ruling JD(U)-RJD alliance says opposition blowing issue out of proportion.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
