Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took full management over his social gathering Janata Dal (United) on Friday, after Lalan Singh resigned as social gathering president. Lalan Singh proposed the identify of Nitish Kumar for the submit of social gathering president on the two day assembly of the nationwide council in Delhi. He mentioned, he can be busy in his constituency in the course of the forthcoming Lok Sabha election and can be unable to hold on with the accountability of social gathering chief. For the final three days, Lalan Singh, Tejashwi Yadav, Ok C Tyagi and Vijay Chowdhary had been attempting their finest to shroud this growth in secrecy and had been brazenly telling lies on digicam. They had been blaming the media for speculating on a growth that finally happened, however for a number of days, they had been persistently denying any such chance. At the nationwide  council assembly of JD(U), all of the leaders current knew what was going to occur. Nitish Kumar had advised Lalan Singh about  his plan for change of guard 5 days in the past in Patna. Yet he didn’t belief him absolutely. There had been strict directions to the leaders to not reveal something to the media until the time Lalan introduced his resignation. 

Nitish Kumar had hectic consultations with Lalan Singh, and on Friday, he took him in his automotive to attend the meting. At the assembly, Nitish “humbly accepted” the accountability of social gathering chief and  left with Lalan Singh. In Patna, Upendra Kushwaha, who was as soon as JD-U vice chairman, and broke away from the social gathering early this yr to type his Rashtriya Lok Janata Dal mentioned, he was not stunned over the event. He alleged that Lalan Singh was following directions from RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, due to which Nitish eliminated him from the submit of social gathering president. Another former JD-U chief Jitan Ram Manjhi, who was unceremoniously eliminated as chief minister by Nitish Kumar, and was just lately described as an “ass” by the chief minister contained in the meeting, disclosed that he had met Nitish a couple of days in the past and had warned him to not make the error of appointing Lalu’s son Tejashwi Yadav because the chief minister. Manjhi revealed that Lalan Singh had taken 12 to 13 MLAs a couple of days in the past and had advised Nitish to make Tejashwi the brand new CM,. Nitish instantly smelled a conspiracy and made up his thoughts to take away Lalan Singh from social gathering chief submit. Union Minister and BJP chief Giriraj Singh described your complete growth as “Lalu’s game”. He mentioned, Nitish has been caught within the spider’s internet. Singh mentioned, Lalu has determined to anoint his son Tejashwi as CM, however Nitish is unwilling to stop. In Patna, Tejashwi Yadav described the change of guard in JD(U) as an inner matter of that social gathering and mentioned it could don’t have any affect on RJD-JD(U) relations. He blamed BJP for floating conspiracy theories. Now that the cat is out of the bag, it’s pertinent to level out how JD(U) leaders had been blaming media for spreading lies throughout the previous few days. 

On Thursday, Tejashwi Yadav was describing media studies about Lalan’s ouster as “baseless speculation”, however these proved true on the very subsequent day. I’ve no complaints about Lalan Singh telling lies, or Tejashwi making false statements. The widespread folks know that leaders do inform lies in public. My solely criticism is that each these leaders blamed journalists for reporting the reality, and used foul phrases towards some newspapers and information channels. Lalan Singh had alleged that reporters had been studying from scripts ready by BJP. But the reality was out on Friday. The script for change of guard in JD(U) was collectively written by Nitish Kumar and Lalan Singh. Tejashwi Yadav knew the reality, however these leaders had been intentionally talking untruths in public. It has now grow to be a trend for many leaders, who, with a purpose to cover the reality, blame media for spreading untruths. Not solely Lalan Singh and Tejashwi Yadav, but in addition leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav blame the media each time they discover it handy. They brazenly say in public conferences that the media is “afraid” of Modi and his authorities. The truth is, these leaders are themselves afraid, they make political somersaults and deceive one another, however they blame media for spreading “lies”. Where is the assure that Lalan Singh is not going to stab Nitish Kumar in his again? Where is the assure that Lala and Tejashwi is not going to pull Nitish down? Where is the assure that Nitish Kumar is not going to make one other somersault as ‘paltu Chacha’ and deceive Lalu once more? 

My view is:  no matter these leaders might say or do in politics, or make somersaults, they need to desist from blaming media for his or her issues and electoral defeats. Leaders ought to enable reporters to do their jobs fearlessly and they need to cease being indignant over the feedback made by editors. For such leaders, I wish to quote an Urdu couplet of Krishna Bihari Sharma ‘Noor”: “Sach Ghate Ya Badhe, Toh Sach Na Rahe, Jhooth Ki Koi Inteha Hi Nahin…..Chahe Sone Ke Frame Mein Jad Do, Aaina Jhooth Bolta Hi Nahin”.  (Literal that means: Truth by no means stays so, if  you add or subtract, there isn’t any restrict to lies…. even when mounted inside a gold body, the mirror by no means lies).
