Expansion
In fact, both of them need each other in the present time. Nitish is desperate to get back JDU’s old base in Bihar, while Prashant Kishor has no option but to fulfill his political ambitions through Bihar. Prashant’s plan to make his own strong political stature by doing independent politics in Bihar through Congress did not materialise. On the other hand, Nitish is unable to create a situation to get back the old base even after applying his full strength.
What is Nitish’s dilemma?
The BJP infiltrated the Dalit and Most Backward Classes JDU’s strength in the last assembly elections. After joining hands with BJP, JDU’s strong Pasmanda Muslim vote bank also ended. Nitish wants that JDU should again establish its old penetration in these sections.
Prashant’s Confusion
After farewell from JDU, Prashant has been trying to increase his stature in the politics of Bihar for the last two years. Last year there was talk of Prashant joining his Congress. But due to many reasons this did not happen. It is true that Prashant has good relations with many regional parties, but these regional parties have no influence in the politics of Bihar. Prashant wants to make JDU a medium to fulfill his ambition.
Several reports say that Prashant is persuading Nitish to become the opposition’s presidential candidate. Since the opposition is badly scattered. Then even a joint opposition cannot guarantee victory. In such a situation, why would Nitish, who is considered a well-known player of politics, agree to this?
