Amid the political uproar in Bihar, where the ruling NDA government is on the verge of disintegration, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is likely to meet Governor Fagu Chouhan. Nitish Kumar himself claimed to have the support of opposition parties, he said. And also asked for an appointment with me. Governor Fagu Chauhan has given him an appointment at 4 pm. The RJD-led Grand Alliance held a meeting at Rabri Devi's house where all the MLAs had signed letters of support to Kumar. Left and Congress parties were also involved in the meeting. Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav is likely to visit the CM's residence any time to hand over his letter of support. The CM is understood to have told party MLAs and MPs in a meeting called at his official residence that he was thrown out by the BJP. who first tried to undermine Chirag Paswan's JD by promoting rebellion and later through former party national president RCP Singh. Singh was made a cabinet minister at the Center without Kumar's explicit consent . Consequently, when his term as a Rajya Sabha member came to an end, the JD refused to give him another term as an MP, thus ending his term as a cabinet minister as well. Subsequently, Singh's Rumors of split in JD by supporters surfaced. Relations between the BJP and the JD have been straining for a long time due to disagreements over several issues, including caste census, population control and the 'Agneepath' defense recruitment scheme. The root of the controversy also stems from a recent statement by saffron party president JP Nadda, who said regional parties "have no future".
Meanwhile, BJP created ruckus at Deputy CM Tarkishore Prasad's residence, where all party ministers besides state president Sanjay Jaiswal and other senior leaders are also present.
BJP sources said they would wait till Nitish Kumar takes the first step. Let us tell you that in the state assembly, which has an effective strength of 242, the majority requires 121 MLAs and the RJD has the maximum number of 79. BJP (77) and JD(U) have 44, followed by BJP (77) and JD(U). Congress has 19 MLAs while CPIML(L) has 12 and CPI and CPI(M) have two MLAs each. Apart from this, one MLA belongs to Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM.
