RLSP chief Upendra Kushwaha, former Union minister in Modi govt, becomes JD(U) parliamentary board chief. He says his future will be decided by Nitish Kumar.
The RJD leader challenged Nitish Kumar to take action against the BJP minister and alleged the Bihar CM seemed clueless whenever opposition raised any anomaly involving his govt.
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has repeatedly lost his temper during budget session. Opposition MLAs say he is frustrated with ally BJP, but JD(U) says he only wants to stick to due process.
Nitish Kumar said there was nothing political about the meetings, and as the CM he is approached by members of the state legislature to discuss matters related to their areas.
Some leaders in the ruling alliance say Choudhary’s meeting with Kanhaiya could have been yet another attempt by JD(U) to raise its stock after its performance in the assembly polls.
Bihar cabinet expansion has been on hold for over two months now, with CM Nitish Kumar demanding equal representation for his JD(U) and union ministry berths.
JD(U) has demanded two berths in the Union cabinet & as many MoS positions. In 2019, Nitish had rejected BJP’s offer of ‘symbolic representation’ in the Union cabinet.
State DGP S.K. Singhal has issued a circular warning that those charge-sheeted for ‘criminal acts’ during protests will not be eligible for government jobs or contracts.

Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
