Cabinet recommends dissolution of 15th Bihar Legislative Assembly

President Basistha Narayan Singh said inviting the Prime Minister was a political etiquette and it was now on him whether to come or not.

This has sent the message across to voters that the BJP does not have a face in Bihar.

To a question whether he would attend the swearing-in ceremony of Mr. Kumar on November 20, the BJP leader said it all depended on the kind of invite and his availability on that day. The Prime Minister addressed no less than 30 election rallies and BJP president Amit Shah 76 in the course of the campaign. Thus now He is going to be elected as leader and thus Chief minister of the state too. Burying the hatchet, ex-members of the Grand Alliance – Samajwadi Party’s Mulayam Singh Yadav and NCP chief Sharad Pawar – have been invited to the event.

The Bihar Chief Minister had strongly supported the AAP government in its confrontations with the Centre on a range of issues.

But the important fact here is that the party with the largest number of seats is Lalu Prasad Yadav’s party under whose rule, Bihar emerged as a jungle raj.

Nitish Kumar was a part of the NDA cabinet where Advani held the home portfolio.

Grand Secular Alliance has secured more than two-third majority winning 178 seats in the 243-member Bihar house. “During the campaign, local BJP leaders were sidelined and ignored”, he said. “The defeat of BJP is the defeat of divisive forces and ideology of saffron party”, said Choudhary.

Congress Legislature Party (CLP) had after a meeting onNovember 14 in Patna authorised party chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul to chose a CLP leader and also take a decision on whether to join the Kumar-led government. It comes as a jolt to the grand alliance which was floated to counter the BJP in the state.

Asked to clarify what exactly an Â’adjustment or Â’maha-understanding would entail, Gogoi said, Â ” We will urge the people to vote for the Congress and if not for us, then at least not for the BJP.
