Nitish Kumar | Rise of Chirag, Centre’s opposition to caste census; Behind Nitish’s falling out with BJP? – News18 Malayalam

Nitish Kumar told a meeting of MLAs called just before resigning as the chief minister in Bihar that the BJP has been humiliating him regularly for the past few years. The JD(U) has now abandoned its five-year alliance with the BJP. What is the real reason behind the collapse of the JDU-BJP alliance? JDU has reached this decision considering four main factors.

The number one factor that angered Nitish Kumar was the BJP’s massive support for Chirag Paswan. Nitish believes that Chirag is the reason why JD(U) got limited to 40 seats in the last assembly elections. Chirag was active in the election arena by declaring himself as Narendra Modi’s Hanuman.

The second reason is that the former JD(U) leader RCP Singh was appointed in the Union Cabinet despite Nitish’s decision. The third very important reason is that the Center rejected Nitish Kumar’s idea of ​​conducting a nationwide caste census. Nitish combined all parties and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this issue but to no avail. The fourth reason that scared Nitish Kumar was Uddhav Thackeray’s resignation as Chief Minister of Maharashtra last month. He was afraid that he might meet the same fate.

In any case, the new alliance of JDU with RJD is taking Bihar back to the political equations of the Mandal era. This alliance is trying to promote caste politics. Nitish is strategizing to crack the Hindutva vote bank of BJP by upholding caste politics.

The central government did not agree to conduct a caste census across the country. But Nitish Kumar managed to implement it in Bihar. He also secured the support of the opposition parties and the Bihar BJP unit. Nitish has announced that the figures from this census will be released before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

BJP was able to hold power in Uttar Pradesh by upholding Hindutva politics and patriotism. The Samajwadi Party and Mayawati’s BSP, which are the exponents of caste politics, have become irrelevant there. BJP plans to try the same strategy in Bihar too. They also assert that they can contest all the seats alone. A coalition led by 7 parties is going to come to power in Bihar. The alliance also has the support of 164 MLAs. Caste equations are often a factor in favor of JD(U) and RJD in Bihar. But now the BJP will strategize on issues like development, stable governance, fight against corruption and law and order situation.
