Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal United President Nitish Kumar has given such a signal for the second time within a week, due to which Congress’s troubles seem to be increasing.
The seats for the Lok Sabha elections have not yet been distributed among the 28 allies in the India Alliance, yet JDU, headed by him, has announced its candidate from a Lok Sabha seat in Arunachal Pradesh.
This unilateral decision has taken Congress by surprise and has created panic in the India Alliance.
The big thing is that in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress candidate stood second on this seat.
JDU national general secretary and in-charge of North-East region Afaq Ahmed Khan on Wednesday said that his party’s Arunachal unit president Ruhi Tagung will contest the next Lok Sabha elections from Arunachal West seat. Khan also said that this announcement has been made on the instructions of party president Nitish Kumar.
Right now, when the seat distribution has not taken place among the constituent parties of the Indian alliance, then the political step taken by Nitish Kumar by taking two steps forward and fielding a candidate in Arunachal is being considered as a pressure tactic of Nitish Kumar.
He has taken this step when it is being discussed that Nitish is angry with the India alliance. On the other hand, there is talk of making him the convenor of India Alliance and the alliance is going to hold the next meeting.
Let us tell you that there are two Lok Sabha seats in Arunachal Pradesh – Arunachal West and Arunachal East. Being the oldest party, Congress has a strong support base in both the constituencies.
The party was also preparing to field candidates on both the seats, then JDU has surprised Congress by doing so. The Arunachal West seat is currently held by BJP’s Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, who defeated Arunachal Congress president Nabam Tuki in 2019.
Last week itself, Nitish himself took command of the party by removing Rajiv Ranjan alias Lallan Singh from the post of JDU President. This happened when there was a strong discussion in political circles that Lalan Singh would be leaving and then Nitish could go with NDA.
One of these news has turned out to be true, but the market of speculation on the other is hot. However, this has been denied by both JDU and BJP.
In such a situation, it is believed that all the efforts of Nitish are an attempt to put pressure on the constituent parties of India Alliance because in the last general meeting, Mamata Banerjee had proposed to make Mallikarjun Kharge the face of the post of PM, which was also supported by Arvind Kejriwal. . Nitish is said to be angry with this.
