After Nitish Kumar's exit, many in INDIA bloc heaving sigh of relief
On Monday, congress general secretary jairam ramesh stated that bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar's unexpected return to the BJP-led nda was "good riddance" for the opposition india alliance, with many lawmakers now "heaving a sigh of relief".
Speaking to reporters in Kishanganj district shortly after rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' entered bihar, Ramesh also challenged the JD(U) president to use his position as an nda ally to compel the narendra modi government at the Centre to make public the caste survey report conducted by the previous manmohan singh regime.
"There would be no negative impact on the india bloc from Kumar's withdrawal. Many leaders are breathing a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank god this man is gone." "It is good riddance," observed the congress leader, whose party lost control in bihar and two cabinet seats as a result of the JD(U) supremo's latest volte data-face.
"It is true that Kumar hosted the inaugural meeting of opposition leaders in patna and has attended every subsequent conclave. But, while we couldn't figure out what his goals were, his attitude over the last two or three months hasn't inspired trust," Ramesh added.
The learned leader used a variety of colourful epithets to insult Kumar, claiming that the old proverb 'Aaya Ram, Gaya Ram' for weathercocks should be substituted with 'Aaya Kumar, Gaya Kumar'.
Kumar took oath as Bihar's chief minister for the eighth time on Sunday, abandoning the 'Mahagathbandhan' and the opposition alliance india in favour of creating a new government with the BJP, which he had rejected less than 18 months earlier.
Ramesh further said that the prime minister, who is a "jhooth ke jagadguru (pontiff of liars)," orchestrated the timing picked by the JD(U) president, who is "vishwasghat ke visheshagya (specialist in betrayals)".
"When 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' started on january 14 from Manipur's Thoubal, PM Modi found the 'muhurat' to sway Milind Deora from the congress so that the headlines become 'Milind Deora' instead of 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra'," he said.
"They were concerned about the yatra's arrival into Bihar. So they requested the 'flipping master' to do a flip... which he did," he explained.
Ramesh further stated that the question that should be posed today is not the influence on the india bloc, but rather the nda itself.
