A bombshell in Bihar politics: Congress leader from Jharkhand, Rakesh Sinha, condemns CM Nitish Kumar’s Rajya Sabha leap as a slap to the state’s voters. In-depth IANS remarks from Ranchi reveal Sinha’s view that this post-election dump ignores the 2025 mandate outright.
Bihar chose NDA overwhelmingly, pinning hopes on Kumar for five steady years. Sinha blasted, ‘Rajya Sabha now? That’s voter betrayal pure and simple.’ He mocked BJP’s handiwork, no shock to seasoned observers.
‘BJP excels at mandate mutilation,’ Sinha noted wryly. They harvested votes on Kumar’s name, then executed the sideline perfectly.
On the governor front, Sinha flagged the upheaval—replacements, resignations—as telltale signs of Delhi’s big plans. ‘Context matters; vigilance is key against impending shifts.’
He rounded off with ire at India’s Russia oil stance post-US waiver: ‘Puppet no more—India must stand tall independently.’
Kumar’s Thursday X announcement and nomination filing, graced by Amit Shah, ignite talks of BJP’s dominance in the alliance. Bihar’s political future hangs in balance amid cries of democratic disrespect.
