Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, has announced a tour of the country to unite opposition parties. He made the announcement after meeting with leaders of prominent opposition parties in Delhi. The tour is aimed at bringing together parties such as Congress, AAP, and left parties.
The move comes amid growing dissatisfaction with the current government’s focus on publicity rather than work. Kumar criticized the Modi government, saying that they do not care about the work at all and only focus on advertising.
The announcement was made on the occasion of Ambedkar’s birth anniversary at the JD-U office. Nitish Kumar was welcomed with rose petals and chants of “Desh ka PM kaisa ho Nitish Kumar jaisa ho.” The chief minister had previously advocated for opposition unity and left the NDA to form the Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar. He had been waiting for the Congress leaders to call him for seven months, and when they did, he visited them and spoke to them.
The tour of opposition unity is a significant development in Indian politics, and it remains to be seen how successful it will be. However, it is clear that Nitish Kumar is committed to bringing together opposition parties to challenge the current government.
This move could have a significant impact on the 2024 general elections in India.
