IT’S a matter of great shame for the
entire Bharatiya Janata Party when Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has asked his alliance partner, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), to name a prime
ministerial candidate with secular credentials before the 2014 elections, a
move seemingly aimed at queering the pitch for Narendra Modi, the controversial chief minister
of Gujarat.
Will
anybody dare to ask Nitish to tell the names of the rioters who burnt Shatabdi
Express and those charred kar sewaks were not human beings? Why are
pseudo-secularists like Nitish Kumar silent over this root problem? Mr Nitish
Kumar leave votebank politics and tell the nation first the names of train-burner
and their religion instead of throwing mud on others just for the sake of his
power.
BJP must have come to its senses
when Nitish had objected over Modi not to campaign in Bihar assembly polls,
what type of alliance is it? When a small leader like Nitish is bent upon
attacking Modi to whom the entire world is recognizing the next prime minister
of India, no doubt, BJP should leave politics instead of following smaller parties
dotted lines.
See, what he utters, could be named
venom in the future politics of BJP.
"The leader of the coalition should have secular credentials and liberal frame of mind," said Kumar, who has been careful in maintaining a distance from Modi because of the latter's anti-Muslim image following the 2002 riots that occurred under his watch in Gujarat. "It should be someone who has absolute faith in democratic values," he said. "In a multi-religious and multi-lingual country like ours, the leader should not have rough edges in his personality."
In an exclusive interview to ET, Kumar made it clear that Modi would not be acceptable to his party. The Bihar chief minister did not refer to Modi by name, but left little doubt that his party, the Janata Dal (United), would walk out of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) if the Gujarat CM were to be projected as its prime ministerial candidate. "I have cordial relations with Bihar BJP. If external forces are bent on spoiling this relationship, I cannot help it," Kumar said.
Nitish Kumar was the Business Reformer Of The Year at The Economic Times Awards for Corporate Excellence in 2009.
NDA should declare a prime ministerial candidate before the 2014 polls so as to cash in on the popular disaffection with Congress, Kumar said, while ruling himself out of the prime ministerial race. "I am not in the race for prime ministership. I cannot even dream of that high office," he said.
Nitish makes opposition to Modi plain
JD(U) has used Kumar's growing stature as a mascot for development in Bihar to assert its position within the alliance. The Bihar CM is popularly seen as a rival to Modi in the developmental sweepstakes, but without the latter's polarising personality. Kumar had prevailed upon the BJP leadership to persuade Modi not to campaign in Bihar in the 2005 assembly polls, when he came to power, ending the 15-year reign of Lalu Yadav.
Modi did not play a role even in the 2010 elections when Kumar returned to power. More recently, the prospect of Modi as a PM candidate has become real as he has given every appearance of being interested in heading BJP's campaign in the 2014 elections. While the Gujarat leader has formally denied being interested in the prime ministership, he has asserted himself at every turn, recently forcing BJP to evict long-time rival Sanjay Joshi from the party's national executive.
In the interview, Kumar made his opposition to Modi plain. "The NDA should have a leader who can feel for the underdeveloped states like Bihar," said Kumar, alluding to Modi's recent remarks that Bihar's "casteist" leadership was responsible for the slow growth of the state. Kumar's assertions come at a time BJP is struggling to evolve a consensus on its leader. While RSS and a section of BJP want senior leader LK Advani to announce his retirement, the second-rung leaders have not been able to settle on an acceptable candidate.
Mr Nitish see the following report and judge
should Modi government have blind its eyes like Akhilesh Yadav, chief minister
of Uttar Pradesh."The leader of the coalition should have secular credentials and liberal frame of mind," said Kumar, who has been careful in maintaining a distance from Modi because of the latter's anti-Muslim image following the 2002 riots that occurred under his watch in Gujarat. "It should be someone who has absolute faith in democratic values," he said. "In a multi-religious and multi-lingual country like ours, the leader should not have rough edges in his personality."
