Nitish Kumar Is Playing A Catalytic Role In Facilitating Defeat Of Bjp In 2024 Lok Sabha Polls
The joint opposition rally held at Fatehabad in Haryana on Sunday organized the INLDleader Om Prakash Chautala on the occasion of the birth anniversary of his father Devi Lalhas made a good success in facilitating the unity of the anti-BJP political parties to take onthe Narendra Modi Government in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.There are three positive pointers from this rally for the opposition. First, Nitish Kumar whowas the main attraction at the rally announced that Congress must be the part of the anti-BJP coalition, though the Congress was not invited by the host at the rally. There was noopposition to this politically important statement of the Bihar Chief Minister from those whohad reservations about joining the Congress in any coalition, INLD included.Secondly, Akali Dal Leader Sukhbir Singh Badal made the cardinal point that the NDA wasgone. The three main constituents of the NDA, JD(U), Shiv Sena and Akali Dal were in therally and that meant while the anti-BJP opposition was growing in strength, the NDA was leftwith BJP alone. Though the Shindeled Shiv Sena had cast its lot with BJP by splitting theUddhav-led party, still the trend indicated the isolation of the BJP from the original partnersof NDA in the last few years.Third significant thing is the message of the Odisha chief Minister and the BJD supremoNaveen Patnaik sending best wishes for the birth day of Devi Lal despite knowing that it wasa political rally to unite the opposition parties against the BJP. Naveen has been fighting boththe BJP and the Congress in his state but he is monitoring the developments and he willdecide his position after the outcome of the Lok Sabha elections. He is also getting thesignal that there is a possibility of BJP losing in the 2024 polls. BJD supremo will take hisfinal position if there is a hung Parliament.Significantly, both Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav met the Congress president Sonia Gandhiafter the rally and discussed about the opposition unity and the importance of her role in thisprocess. Reports said that the two leaders requested Sonia Gandhi to take lead in bringingopposition together. Nitish Kumar will be meeting the Congress leader after the presidentialelections in the Congress Party is over on October 19. RJD Leader Lalu Yadav is ill and heis supposed to go to Singapore for a kidney transplantation. If that is so, Nitish Kumar andTejashwi Yadav, the Bihar deputy chief minister will be meeting the Gandhis and the newCongress president in the first week of November.As of now, Nitish Kumar is the fittest opposition leader to carry on follow up discussions withthe other nonBJP political parties. Nitish is most secure now in Bihar as the BJP, his mainopposition finds itself isolated. Nitish is cool headed unlike TMC supremo Mamata Banerjeeand he has that acceptability totalk across all parties including the BJD, YSRCP and AAP.Already Nitish talked to the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during his last Delhi visit. Heis a pragmatist and he knows the minimum possible basis of forging unity of the oppositionparties to take on the BJP. Only eighteen months are left for the holding of the Lok Sabha polls in March/April 2024.Before that a series of state assembly polls will be held in the country. The BJP isconcentrating all its attention on the coming state polls and its leaders including the PrimeMinister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and the BJP president J P Nadda aremonitoring the developments on a daily basis. For the major parties of the opposition, thesupreme need is to defeat the BJP in the state polls and that is where the major party, theCongress is lacking.The state polls are taking place in Himachal and Gujarat by yearend. In Gujarat, theRajasthan Chef Minister Ashok Gehlot is the state observer and he is supposed to monitorthe developments on daily basis. But he is contesting for the post of Congress President andhe will be busy till October 19.He will not have any time to give for Gujarat during this period.The Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is leading the Bharat Jodo Yatra. There are no reportsthat he will campaign in Gujarat during this Yatra period.Thus Gujarat has been left in the lurch by the Congress Party while both the BJP and thenew entrant AAP have focusing full attention on the campaign. PM Modi is constantlyvisiting, Arvind Kejriwal is trying to convert the Gujarat polls into a contest between BJP andAAP, but the Congress leaders are nowhere tobe - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara seen though the anti incumbency.
