Nitish Kumar: Modern day vibhishana not Arjun on chariot



Let’s assume BJP is untouchable and considered communal among elite media & so-called secular party (angel), though I never mean that BJP is devil or Even Mr.Modi as Ravaan as its leading leader in next general election.In other note Ravaan was most intelligent know all rig & ved and his excellence on science and philosophy was admirable.
 



Nitish Kumar is seasoned politician and comes from the old political capital of country, Bihar, his political laboratory starts from emergency time under JP movement and along with other two big Yadav leaders. Till some time back until 2007 Nitish is a charming leader who as an engineer did some good job in railway and continuing that track record in Bihar, Indeed he try to change the growth trajectory in Bihar, build confidence among local citizen, business community and reach to a certain point where he can project his model of growth and governance on national platform. Going by statistics and the kind of change Bihar has seen one will defiantly credit this to Nitish lead NDA govt in Bihar, but the truth is stranger than fiction. Nitish can be counted among those political leaders in Indian history who up the ladder of success by cutting hands of his own guru, George Fernandez one time a powerful politician become a mere symbolic figure in current scenario, mandal commission champion and strong Yadav politician Sharad Yadav is on the oxygen provided by Nitish himself. Lalu said in his chaste Hindi – “esa koi saga nahi jisko nitish ne thaga nahi”. His personal life also strongly proved that, but in politics one should not indulge into personal matters.
 
Today in full attention of national media Nitish proved that he is not Arjun as his supporters posed him in pic, he is merely a modern day Vibhishana, after serving 14 years in NDA court, now Nitish is talking about communalism, inclusive growth and openly target his enemy number one in political circle(although it will be wise if he check more on Lalu-Paswan ambitions and Rahul uneasiness in Bihar state congress) Mr.Modi,In Hindu Mythology when Hanuman visited Lanka he find one man who was chanting Shri Ram,he was Vibhishana, Raavan’s younger brother and devote of Narayan. Despite he belongs to asur clan he propose to serve himself under Ram who was fighting war of Dharma in Treta Yug. Ok come back to present time when congress lead UPA-2 finally realize that it’s difficult to complete the term after DMK fiasco and current resentment among people, it goes for fishing and become so soft on Bihar that it takes steps to show the olive branch to Nitish. Nitish know himself as he said in his speech today that he will become next dewegowda or say IK Gujral and most preferable Mr. Chandra Shekhar if he dream for PM post, so if he is not aiming PM post as per his speech delivered on very high note. Than what is driving him so crazy to target Modi in his speech on national forum? The answer lies in the question itself, Nitish was giving speech today in JDU national executive meeting in Delhi, he can communicate his thoughts to party leader in close doors or with minus media but he choose the platform to target modi on the National forum or rather embarrasses him in his own game. Some excerpt of his speech which clearly target Modi in his own game.

Nitish said he has implemented 50% reservation for women in local bodies and other state department whereas pointed out some one is on paper only
Nitish talk about inclusive growth where malnutrition and human development index must also answer in correct manner, sharply criticizing Gujarat and Modi
Nitish also raise drought issue by saying – yeh kaisa vikaas hai jisme peene ko paani nahi (what kind of progress is this where scarcity of drinking water present)
Nitish also takes a dig on per capita income of state, labor skill of people vs business centric people of state, sea vs. land and other many factors which can counter Modi effectively in his own turf.
Nitish smartly takes on political compulsion and pointed India is a diverse country where one has to wear scull and put Tikaa on his forehead simultaneously, he added one role model of growth may not be implemented elsewhere, what is right for one cannot be correct for other state, every state has its own diversity and heritage, Bihar is having 2500 yrs heritage history of education and political thinking. He again stressed on limitation of growth as Bihar is land excess state without any sea link, he try to minimize Gujarat growth and Modi's height by saying that sea link is an added advantage and a compulsion for business (as if Bihar who was most fertile in Indian history lacks in production or business). He used word Tijarat (trading) to give the message of his listener with whom he stands for.
But why Media is so much interested in Nitish and even cover its two-day party meeting like a national event. Its definitely not about the numbers Bihar send 40 MP to loksabha and 32 are sitting MP from NDA,20-JDU,12-BJP.Being in state power for last 7 years and sitting can change the results in next general election. Media know this and is interested in Nitish because he can dent the image of Modi like no other leader can do. Nitish is an ally of BJP from past 14 yrs and know many things about it, there are many friends also who are giving soft cushions to NItish ambitions (some media report suggest, a deputy PM post also offered to him), Nitish know how to tame the lion he is an old ring master in his own style. When a strong leader like Nitish target Modi it challenge the acceptance of him on national stage. He also dares to undermine Modi's achievements and over loud speeches, which Modi delivered in recent time.

It seems Nitish is having personal problem with Modi rather than any political war with him, it’s like he feel neglected in terms of growth hero and a prospect of some national role when Media excessively talk about Modi, no other CM till now oppose or come forward to take on Modi like Nitish did and doing so despite he is oldest ally in BJP camp which oppose it on ideology. Vibhishana find himself neglected in Raavan court and helped Ram in the battle; in the end he was declared king of Lanka by Lord Ram himself. Nitish knows if by chance BJP manage to get 180 seats under Modi, he will become less relevant, but if it comes under 160 he can attract more neo-secular parties under his umbrella, it is this dream which is harnessing under this political posturing and challenge to Modi.
Vibhishana can't fight it alone he takes support of Ram, here anti-Modi leaders in BJP and congress are giving air in vacuum room for Nitish. Nitish mentioned Atalji many times like Vibhishana lauds Bali over Raavan, Bali donate his entire land to Narayan in Brahman avtaar, but hauled as Raja Bali and great kind of asurs. Surely He is not Arjun having (arrow) that can fight it from front but he is Vibhishana of modern political time.
