Nitish Kumar proved to be the real Baazigar, will be the kingmaker of the 2024 government

Nitish Kumar has proved all the political pundits wrong once again. Be it the exit poll predictions or the statements of all the political pundits, they have proved wrong for Nitish Kumar. In such a situation, Nitish Kumar, who has almost won 15 out of 16 seats, has gained stature in the central politics after the results. This is the reason why whether it is Manoj Jha of RJD or Sharad Pawar of NCP, both have started giving different types of offers to bring Nitish Kumar into the fold of India Alliance. Obviously, Nitish, who has been the head of Bihar's power for the last 15 years, has grown in stature to such an extent that it is considered certain that the remote of the central government is now going to be in his hands.

Why does Nitish look like a magician after turning a lost game around?

Prashant Kishor had come into the limelight by making a statement that Nitish's party will be reduced to 4 to 5 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. It was being said that Nitish has lost his credibility by changing sides repeatedly but the result of the Lok Sabha elections is establishing him as a great juggler. Nitish's decisions may seem wrong initially but ultimately Nitish comes out as a winner, Nitish has proved this again.

Even in the exit polls, Nitish Kumar was being blamed for the loss in Bihar. Political pundits were seeing the NDA incurring losses due to JDU, but in the election results, Congress is leading in Kishanganj seat. In the year 2019, the Congress party had won the only seat from Kishanganj. Although JDU seems to be losing Jehanabad, but JDU's victory in 15 out of 16 seats is being considered an excellent strike rate.

People have now started to accept the true power of Nitish

That is why those who used to taunt Nitish Kumar for his political decline have now started acknowledging Nitish's real strength. Madan Sahni, a senior minister of Nitish's party, has replied to Nitish's big critic by saying that Bihar could not repeat the UP story because of Nitish, otherwise Bihar would not have been able to escape the crushing defeat of the NDA like UP. How does Nitish emerge stronger despite getting stuck in bad times again and again?

In the year 2020, Nitish Kumar's party got only 43 seats. Since then, Nitish Kumar's strength was constantly being underestimated. It was being said that due to Nitish Kumar's wandering here and there, his credibility has declined significantly, but now no one can deny that Nitish Kumar has once again emerged as a powerful leader in the court of the people.

Nitish had laid the foundation of India alliance against the central government

Nitish, who defeated BJP in 2015 along with RJD, returned to NDA in 2017. Due to this, NDA was successful in winning 39 out of 40 seats in 2019. In the year 2022, Nitish once again joined hands with RJD to run the government in Bihar. This time Nitish also laid the foundation of India Alliance against the central government, but by the year 2023, Nitish Kumar had become disillusioned with the Mahagathbandhan. That is why he has returned to NDA.

This time, Nitish is seen defeating the Mahagathbandhan by joining NDA. Not only this, BJP which is seen to be limited to around 240 seats, now clearly needs Nitish Kumar to run the government. Therefore, it can be said that whichever way Nitish turns, the scales will be in that direction. This is the reason why Nitish, who has been ruling Bihar politics for the last 18 years, will now be seen to have a strong hold on the central government as well. No one can deny this.

Will Nitish change sides and be seen in a big role in the central government?

Will Nitish stay in NDA or will he change sides again and play a big role in the central government? The invitation received from Sharad Pawar has become a matter of curiosity in political circles. At the same time, news has also come from sources that Congress can contact Nitish and Chandrababu Naidu of Andhra Pradesh and invite them to join the India Alliance. It is clear that the role of both Nitish and Chandrababu Naidu is becoming important in the formation of the government at the center.

Together, there will be about 30 MPs, which are being said to be essential for NDA or All India Alliance. Nitish Kumar has got a golden opportunity, which he would like to capitalize on strongly in his favor. In such a situation, it is natural for Nitish's importance to increase in the current form and no one can deny that his interference will be strong in the government from Bihar to the Center.

Will Nitish take over the power of Bihar or will he turn to the Centre?

By the way, JDU's state president Umesh Kushwaha or national spokesperson and Nitish Kumar's advisor KC Tyagi, both have given statements about staying in NDA. Therefore, even if Nitish stays in NDA, JDU's role in the central government will remain big. Obviously, this is why Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary has reached Nitish Kumar's residence to meet him. PM Modi has intensified his efforts to keep TDP leader Chandrababu in the NDA camp by contacting him.

Nitish Kumar has been offered the post of Deputy PM by the All India Alliance. BJP has called for an NDA meeting tomorrow. Obviously, it is Nitish who has to decide which side he will be on and whether he will leave Bihar and look for a new role at the Centre, but it cannot be denied that Nitish Kumar's party can be given an important ministry at the Centre. This time it seems clear that JDU will join the power at the Centre not on a symbolic basis but on a proportional basis. Therefore, the possibility of Sanjay Jha, Lallan Singh, Santosh Kushwaha becoming ministers has increased.

Not only this, Nitish's agenda also includes getting special status for Bihar. Therefore, it is certain that Nitish will try his best to turn the 2025 assembly elections in his favour by getting the demand for special status accepted. Obviously, Nitish has now become so important for the BJP, which is far from the majority, that it seems difficult to run the NDA government without him.
