Message For BJP? Nitish Kumar Likely To Meet Tejashwi Yadav Again In Iftar Party, Know Why!
By D N Singh
Meeting the Tejaswi Yadav, leader of Opposition, for the second time, in quick consecution, the Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar holds strong message for the BJP that, political parties in Bihar, ruling or otherwise, are united to maintain social harmony. Close sources in the JD(U) would have us believe that, Nitish does not support ” creating communal disturbances” in Bihar.
After Kumar joined earlier this month, the Iftar party hosted by Rabri Devi, former chief minister. And it is believed that, both the sides have enjoyed the cordialities and improvement in relations.
In the coming Iftar party hosted by the JD(U) Salim Parvej, leader of minority wing of Bihar, to which Tejaswi has been invited, agreeing to be there, thus the Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar does not mind to re-meet the leader of opposition Tejashwi Yadav and help embolden the political rapport, that is what is the chatter in the political grapevines of Bihar.
“We have personally invited CM Nitish Kumar for the Iftar party and he has accepted our invitation. Besides, I have also sent invitations to former CM Rabri Devi, leader of opposition Tejashwi Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav, Jagadanand Singh, leaders of BJP, Congress, CPI, CPM, CPI (ML), AIMIM, HAM and VIP. I am expecting all leaders will come to the Iftar party. The venue of the Iftar party is Patna HAJ Bhawan,” Pravej said.
“Iftar is a cultural event meant for social harmony in the state. We have to give a strong message to people of our state and country that the political leaders are united in Bihar to secure social harmony in the society,” Parvej said.
Though, on that occasion, political circles were agog with speculation of Nitish Kumar’s changing political equation with the RJD.
If Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav will share a cultural programme again in a short span of time, it will be a positive sign for both the parties.
The sources close to the Bihar Chief Minister believe that he wants to give a strong message to BJP to avoid “creating communal disturbance” in Bihar. Hence, he is showing close proximity with Tejashwi Yadav and RJD.
Earlier, Nitish Kumar had also given a Dawat-E-Iftar party but Tejashwi and Rabri Devi had skipped it.
However, the relations between JD-U and RJD seem to have improved after Nitish Kumar visited Rabri Devi’s residence on April 22 for the Dawat-E-Iftar.
