3rd Biggest break-up in 26 years: Five years 'quiet' Nitish Kumar left BJP for these 5 reasons

Bihar Political Crisis: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar resigns (Nitish Kumar Resigns As Bihar CM) Politics has heated up and BJP has got a big blow.

It is said in politics that one is not always one's enemy or one's friend, Nitish Kumar has proved this time and again. There is no party in Bihar that Nitish Kumar has not run the government with, and again all parties are ready to back down in the government with Nitish as the CM. On the one hand, Nitish Kumar has given a jolt to the Bharatiya Janata Party, which has become excited by playing games in Maharashtra, this is not the first time when Nitish has betrayed the BJP, this has already happened before. 

First alliance with BJP then government with RJD-Congress and then again alliance with BJP...this is the political journey of Nitish Kumar and now a new camp has been added in which he is going to break the tie with BJP and again form government with RJD-Congress. Nitish Kumar has been at loggerheads with the BJP ever since it formed the government in 2020, and the alliance has broken up after repeated statements, political analysts believe that Nitish Kumar was afraid to end the alliance to avoid becoming like the Thackeray family. This is the third time in the last 26 years that Nitish Kumar has broken the grand alliance, first in 2013 with the BJP and then in 2017. Again back now in 2022 NDA (BJP alliance) has broken. 

1. Become like Uddhav Thackeray! 

JDU leader RCP Singh was inducted by the BJP into the Modi cabinet, a decision many leaders said was taken without Nitish's approval. RCP Singh was preparing to do something big in Bihar by staying close to BJP. As soon as Nitish Kumar came to know about this, he got an investigation and filed a case against RCP Singh, RCP Singh had to resign. 

Initially, BJP itself gave the Chief Minister's chair to Nitish Kumar despite having more seats, but as Nitish Kumar was moving closer to RJD, BJP started attacking him. Not only this, RCP Singh was also well respected at the centre. RCP Singh was constantly in touch with BJP and JDU MLAs, the fear of Bihar being similar to Eknath Shinde's success in forming the government in Maharashtra may have crept into Nitish Kumar's mind, after which Lalu Yadav, against whom many allegations of corruption have been leveled. Decided to form the government again with the family.

2. Resentment from the start 

In the 2020 assembly elections, the BJP contested 121 seats and won 74 seats, while the JDU contested from 122 and won only 43. In such a case, JDU alleged that by fielding Chirag Paswan, it was the BJP that cut JDU's votes and reduced the number of seats. Not only this, BJP removed Sushil Modi, who was considered close to Nitish, and made a new DYCM, there were leaders who spoke against  Nitish Kumar several times.

3. BJP's Plan 200 Sushasan Babu 

Did not like BJP is working on 'Plan 200', BJP announced program for 200 assembly seats of the state for 2025 assembly elections. JDU did not like this either, as BJP was now going to be a senior partner instead of a junior partner. In such a situation, Nitish Kumar was afraid that Shiv Sena would not happen in Bihar as it happened in Maharashtra.  

4. Nadda's Statement Increases 

Displeasure JP Nadda also suddenly made a statement indicating that all parties in the country will be destroyed and only BJP will survive. JDU also took this matter seriously. 

5. Even for the PM post in 2024, strong contender 

Nitish Kumar is said to fight elections with another party in coalition and run the government with another party. Nitish Kumar broke the 17-year alliance with Narendra Modi who was nominated by the BJP for the post of PM. Suddenly disillusioned with BJP again before 2024, BJP leader and Giriraj Singh are saying that Paltoo Ram has to become PM. The opposition does not have a united face at present but when names like Mamata Banerjee, Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal are being tossed around, the name of Nitish Kumar will also be added.
