Janjivan Bureau / New Delhi : A 360 degree turn of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Congress attack on BJP and Nitish and said a story of ‘Rank Opportunism & Treachery with People’s Mandate’. Truth is that ‘hunger for power has over powered’ every thing else. Congress spokes person Randeep Singh Surjewala said to the media person, the mask of ‘big talks and self-professed honesty’ stands exposed with the sole principle being ‘power at any cost, power at all costs’.
Surjewala remembered the PM speech, On 27th July, 2015, Narendra Modi in a rally in Muzaffarpur, Bihar questioned the ‘political DNA’ of Nitish Kumar. It has been proved today that the political DNA of BJP and JDU is identical – Opportunism, Treachery, Hunger for Power & Disregard of People’s Mandate.
He said in November, 2015; people of Bihar rejected the leadership of Narendra Modi as also the policies of Bhartiya Janata Party. Mandate of people of Bihar was in favour of policies, principles and leadership of Mahagathbandhan. Janata Dal United led by Nitish Kumar won the least percentage of seats contested by RJD, JDU and the Congress. Despite this, three parties of the Mahagathbandhan unanimously elected Nitish Kumar as Chief Minister of Bihar with the good wishes of Congress President and Congress Vice-President.
Surjewala said It is a double whammy for democracy that within 20 months, politics of ‘Aaya Ram – Gaya Ram’ & ‘Opportunism’ was repeated when a party (BJP) rejected by people and a leader (Shri Nitish Kumar) hungry for power at any cost, formed a government overnight. Nitish Kumar and JDU were never given the mandate to rule Bihar alone by the people and BJP was decisively rejected. The new BJP-JDU government is founded upon political conspiracy rather than people’s mandate and has no right to continue even for a day as it is an affront to the mandate given by people of Bihar.
To decimate democracy & denigrate people’s mandate has become the accepted ‘way forward’ for the ruling BJP. Firstly, people’s will was brutally rejected by BJP in Goa and a party (BJP) defeated by people of Goa forcibly formed the government. This derogation of democracy was repeated in Manipur when BJP (which was in minority) constituted a government by upsetting majority numbers through rank defections. In Bihar, every political and democratic principle was murdered in broad daylight and a government of BJP-JDU has been formed today, which neither has neither the people’s mandate nor the authority to rule. This is a black day for India’s democracy. Indian National Congress is committed to protect and carry on the fight for protecting democratic principles in face of these brutal onslaughts by fascist forces.
