Nitish Kumar allying with BJP improves his image, ends Bihar's long wait for Centre-state cooperation

Firstpost  

Narendra Modi aligning with Nitish Kumar should be seen as the Centre aligning with Bihar; and a confluence of two strong, well-intentioned political leaders Mincing no words, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Monday asked whether “secularism means making properties and should only be used to win votes or serve people”. Meanwhile, taking a dig at Nitish, RJD Supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav’s son and former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav tweeted on Monday morning “congratulating Modi for having a new disciple”. After severing ties with the Mahagathbandhan and forming a new government with BJP’s support, Nitish had come under severe attack from his former alliance partners — RJD and Congress — and others, who alleged that the Bihar chief minister had compromised by sacrificing secularism. While addressing his first press conference on Monday after forming the new government, Nitish said with conviction, “I’m ready to face criticism from a section of intellectuals and columnists…and I had anticipated it…Had I supported corruption, ten times more number of people would have questioned my credentials, as I never supported corruption.” Whether it was anti-corruption, surgical strikes or note ban, Modi and Nitish have been on the same page.
