Doors of BJP shut for Nitish Kumar forever: reiterates Amit Shah in Nawada

Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that the people of Bihar have decided to ensure the victory of party candidates in all the 40 Lok Sabha seats

Addressing a public meeting at Nawada in Bihar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on April 2, 2023 reiterated that doors of BJP have been shut forever for Nitish Kumar and also asserted that Mr Kumar would never be able to nurse his dream of becoming the Prime Minister as there was “no vacancy” for the post.

“I want to make it clear to you (people) and Lalan Babu (JD-U national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh who is also a close aide of chief minister Nitish Kumar) that doors of BJP have been shut forever for Nitish Kumar”, reiterated senior BJP leader and union home minister Amit Shah amid thunderous applause by the gathered crowd in the public meeting at Hisua in Nawada. Former Nawada BJP MP and union minister Giriraj Singh too was present on the occasion.

Earlier at his public meeting in Purnia in September 2022, Mr Shah had first announced that for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar doors of BJP have been shut forever. Mr Kumar’s party JD(U) had snapped ruling ties with BJP in August 2022 to form mahagathbandhan government with six other parties, including Rashtriya Janata Dal and Congress, in the State.

While slamming Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav further, Mr Shah said, “one person has to become Prime Minister and Lalu’s son has to become chief minister but “you (Lalu Prasad) and Nitish Kumar both are in galatfahmi (complete misunderstanding) while, people of Bihar are not in misunderstanding to vote for PM Modi on all 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar”.

“For power you (Nitish Kumar) has gone to sit in the lap of Lalu Prasad whose regime was synonymous with jungle raj”, charged Mr Shah. “It was Tejashwi Yadav who earlier had called Nitish Kumar by several names like Paltu chacha (uncle turn coat), saanp (snake), girgit (chameleon), dokhebaaj (betrayer) etc. but for power Nitish ji forgot all this”. “Will go to the people of the state and uproot the mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) government”, he asserted.

Mr Shah was also to address a public meeting in Sasaram on Sunday but he had to cancel his programme as communal tension had flared up there and section 144 was imposed. The district administration and the state government, though, had denied that section 144 was imposed in Sasaram but a police official was caught on camera on Saturday making announcement on mic that section 144 has been imposed in the area by the order of district magistrate.
