Lalu Yadav’s Son Mocks Bihar CM: ‘Paltis Kumar’ in Line for ‘Girgit Ratna’

In a scathing critique aimed at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tej Pratap Yadav accused him of repeatedly shifting political allegiances and suggested he be honored with the ‘Chameleon Ratna’ award. Yadav, the elder son of RJD stalwart Lalu Prasad Yadav, lambasted Kumar for his frequent changes in party affiliations, likening him to a chameleon known for its ability to change colors.

Tej Pratap Yadav on Bihar Politics

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Yadav voiced his disdain for Kumar’s political maneuvers, highlighting the latter’s tendency to switch sides. The attack came in the wake of Kumar’s decision to break away from the grand alliance with RJD and return to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), marking the fourth instance of such a crossover since 2013.

Sunday witnessed a seismic shift in Bihar’s political landscape as Kumar resigned from the Mahagathbandhan government, citing unfavorable conditions within the coalition. He subsequently took oath as chief minister for an unprecedented ninth term, this time with the support of the BJP. Two BJP leaders, Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, also assumed office as deputy chief ministers, signaling a new chapter in Bihar’s governance.

The swearing-in ceremony included members from various political entities, including the Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) (HAM-S) party and an independent MLA, reflecting the diverse composition of the new government. The realignment of political forces has reshaped the dynamics of power in the Bihar Assembly, with the RJD, BJP, JD(U), Congress, and other parties vying for influence.

With the state assembly comprising a diverse array of political actors, the future trajectory of Bihar’s governance remains uncertain amid the ever-changing currents of Indian politics.
