Patna. Amidst a power struggle within the ruling coalition in Bihar involving Janata Dal United (JDU), significant reports suggest that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar might dissolve the Council of Ministers. There are indications that he could recommend the imposition of President’s rule in Bihar. A crucial meeting of the JDU is scheduled in Delhi, fueling ongoing speculations surrounding party president Lalan Singh’s position.
Sources suggest that Lalan Singh may potentially step down from his role as the party’s national president. Ahead of the Delhi meeting, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar downplayed the situation, referring to it as a routine annual gathering. When queried about the JDU’s potential rejoining of the NDA and the prospect of a change in the national president, Kumar evaded direct responses.
Amidst the political turmoil in Bihar, Deputy Chief Minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has addressed the speculations surrounding Lalan Singh’s resignation, labeling it as a mere rumour. Tejashwi Yadav emphasized that national executive meetings are a routine for every party, citing RJD’s recent meeting at Tal Katora Stadium.
