"His political future will be safe...": Yoga Guru Swami Ramdev on Nitish Kumar
Jan 26, 2024
New Delhi [India], January 26 : Amid the political turmoil in Bihar, Yoga Guru Swami Ramdev on Friday said that Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is joining the "flow" and by this, his "political future" will be "safe."
"Nitish Kumar is also joining the flow. His political future will be safe. For political stability in the country, all nationalist leaders and parties who stand together in giving prominence to Indian culture and civilization should come together," Swami Ramdev told reporters on Friday.
Meanwhile, RJD MP Manoj Jha asserted that all is well between RJD and JDU.
"The chemistry and work ethics between the CM and the deputy CM is commendable. BJP can feel an approaching disaster. This is why even after making a grand spectacle of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, they know that the 'Bahujan' community of Bihar, still does not trust the BJP. This is why an emergency meeting was called... All is well between RJD and JDU," he added.
Earlier today, Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) chief Jitan Ram Manjhi on Friday said that the ruling Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) government will not last for long.
The HAM president said that by seeing the statements of his former ally and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, he had sensed earlier that there would be a change in the state.
"Recently I had said that there would be a change in Bihar after January 20 and the basis of this was Nitish Kumar's statement. He has said many things against RJD...On this basis, we said that the alliance would not work. Their alliance will not last for long. Nitish Kumar's dream of becoming PM has been shattered... Therefore, after breaking the alliance, he may contest the Lok Sabha elections independently or join the other alliance," Manjhi said.
The former Bihar Chief Minister said that if Kumar jumped ship again, he would not compromise with the top post.
"For now, we cannot say when that will happen, but normally Nitish Kumar does not compromise on the Chief Ministerial post. Nothing can be said about whether the NDA alliance under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will accept Kumar as the Chief Minister or not," he added.
Earlier, Lalu's daughter Rohini Acharya took a swipe at RJD's ruling ally, JDU, on X posting that while the 'socialist party' (JDU) styles itself as progressive, its ideology shifts with the changing wind patterns, a statement which triggered cracks within the ruling alliance.
However, a few hours later, all three posts by Lalu's daughter were deleted.
