North India Statesman
News India Live, Digital Desk: If you look closely at the politics of Bihar, a new drama is seen here every second day. Those who till yesterday did not like to see each other’s faces, are seen making the same mistakes today. The latest case was once very special for Nitish Kumar and former Union Minister. RCP Singh Is of.
The market is hot with news that RCP Singh now wants to “return home” to JDU. Yes, the same RCP Singh who had rebelled against Nitish Kumar and left the party.
RCP Babu is left alone?
Let’s go into flashback. RCP Singh once lived like a “shadow” of Nitish Kumar. He was an IAS officer and it was Nitish Kumar who brought him into politics and made him his ‘right hand’. But then tensions over the ministerial post increased, RCP Singh left the party, then joined BJP and became disillusioned there too.
Now the situation is that RCP Singh is standing completely alone on the political pitch. Neither does he have any party, nor any strong support base. In such a situation, it is being said that he has understood that if he wants to do politics in Bihar, he will have to live under the “Nitish umbrella”.
message has been sent
If media reports and sources are to be believed, RCP Singh has conveyed his wish to the top leadership of the party. The ‘soft corner’ he recently showed for Nitish Kumar in front of the media is the biggest proof of this.
He said, “Nitish Kumar was my leader and will always be so. There was no rift between us, it was just a matter of circumstances.” Not only this, he also said in gestures that he has no problem if the party takes him back. He is ready to return to JDU.
Will Nitish become ‘big hearted’?
Now the question is whether Nitish Kumar will forgive his old friend? We all know that when RCP Singh parted ways, Lalan Singh and other JDU leaders made scathing attacks on him. He was also accused of being an “agent of BJP”.
But, politics is a game of possibilities. Nitish Kumar also knows that RCP Singh comes from Kurmi community (which is Nitish’s core vote bank) and has long experience in running the organization. In such a situation, experts believe that sooner or later, he may return.
What will happen next?
At present, no official statement (“yes” or “no”) has come from JDU, but looking at the way RCP Singh’s tone has changed, it seems that internal talks are going on. If the pair comes together again, the equations will definitely change before the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections.
It will be interesting to see whether he is welcomed with flowers or closed doors at the house he himself left.
