News India Live, Digital Desk: The ‘Bahubali’ of Bihar politics and former MLA of Mokama, Anant Singh is once again in the headlines. As soon as he came out of jail on bail after almost two and a half years, he made a direct attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. ‘Chhote Sarkar’, which has always created a stir in the politics of Bihar with its statements, has started a new debate this time by calling Nitish Kumar the “Chief Minister of circumstances”.
Anant Singh was talking to the media in his native village Nadwan. Meanwhile, when he was asked a question about Nitish Kumar, he gave this controversial statement in his familiar style.
What did Anant Singh say?
Taking a dig at Nitish Kumar, Anant Singh said, “Nitish Kumar is the Chief Minister of circumstances. He keeps changing parties sometimes here, sometimes there.” However, soon after he also said that “the one who is running Bihar is fine, he is our Chief Minister.”
This statement of Anant Singh has come at a time when the call for assembly elections in Bihar has intensified. Many political meanings are being inferred from his statement. While on one hand he is targeting Nitish Kumar, on the other hand he is also showing a soft attitude by calling him ‘our Chief Minister’.
Is everything not well between RJD and JDU?
Anant Singh has been an MLA from RJD quota. In such a situation, his statement is also being linked to the ongoing internal tussle between RJD and JDU. Even though both the parties are together in the Grand Alliance, from time to time there is war of words between the leaders of both the parties. This statement of Anant Singh is being considered a part of this series.
Told Tejashwi the ‘future’ of Bihar
Interestingly, while Anant Singh called Nitish Kumar a ‘Chief Minister of circumstances’, he termed RJD leader and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav as the ‘future’ of Bihar. It is clear from this that his loyalty is completely with Lalu family and RJD.
In election mode as soon as he came out of jail
Anant Singh was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in an Arms Act case, but he has got bail from the Supreme Court. As soon as he came out of jail, he made it clear that he was once again going to be active in the politics of Mokama and Bihar. Due to his aggressive attitude, it is certain that the politics of Bihar is going to heat up further in the coming days, especially in Mokama seat, where his wife Neelam Devi is now an RJD MLA.
