Anand Mohan walks free: 'Sushasan babu' Nitish Kumar's new somersault | OPINION

India Today  

Tejashwi Yadav had memorably called Nitish Kumar “Paltu chacha”. Nitish Kumar has come a long way from a man who used to pride himself as “Sushasan babu” who ended Bihar’s Jungle Raj to now being the leader of loopholes. However, Kumar’s famous “conscience” never came in the way of his “flexible” alliances where he partnered with the BJP and the RJD alongside the Congress to stay in power and occupy the CM’s chair. Says a senior RJD leader bitingly, “From telling us RJD MLAs that he would only go by what his officials said for any work to now freeing a man who murdered an IAS official, Kumar has done a somersault but, because he is charming to the media, he will not get any censure.” IAS officials, who thought they were indispensable to Kumar, have had a steep learning curve: Kumar is a ruthless player of realpolitik and in a hurry to mop up any visible vote bank just a year before the big fight of 2024. “He used to incessantly complain about Lalu Prasad Yadav and his corrupt ways and now he is very comfortable with the same people.” Kumar played host at the recent wedding of “Bahubali” Mohan’s son.
