Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is not only fixing his ally Bharatiya Janata Party, but is also cleaning his party. A senior leader of his party said that “many leaders in JD(U) had turned BJP”. Such a BJP person with JDU is being identified and thrown out of the party or his place is being shown. It started with Union Minister RCP Singh. No JDU leader has openly said that in informal conversations, everyone is convinced that BJP was playing its bet in Bihar through RCP Singh, which Nitish Kumar understood in time and did not send RCP to Rajya Sabha. Now he has to resign from the Union Cabinet. Even BJP cannot support them.
Another high profile victim among the ‘BJP’s of JDU is Dr Ajay Alok. He was the spokesperson of JDU but used to talk on BJP’s line in any television channels debate. All his arguments were the same as those of BJP spokespersons. So, JDU showed him the way out. Three more leaders were evicted with him, about whom Nitish Kumar and Lalan Singh had information that they were in touch with the BJP. Now the next turn is of some ministers. It is being told that Nitish Kumar is going to reshuffle the cabinet soon. The list of ministers to be removed has been made. Almost all the ministers who were close to RCP Singh will be discharged. Sheela Mandal is also among the ministers to be removed. She is close to RCP. Last time, she was contested after cutting the ticket of JDU MLA and became a minister after winning for the first time.
