At present, a very sensational and spicy news is coming out from the corridors of politics of Bihar regarding the party of Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) National President and former Union Minister Upendra Kushwaha. Amidst the sounds of infighting and rebellion within the party, RJD’s rebel or rather leader of political statements, Bhai Virendra Yadav has given a statement which has suddenly raised the political temperature of the state to the seventh sky. Brother Virendra Yadav has made such a taunt of ‘husband-wife and politics’ behind the split and rebellion in Kushwaha’s party, after which the market of speculations has become hot in the political circles. After all, what is cooking inside Upendra Kushwaha’s party and what is the political meaning of this statement, let us understand this entire inner story in great detail.
When Upendra Kushwaha, who has always had his own identity in the political equations of Bihar, formed his party Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM), he had expressed the hope that he would create a strong organization by taking all sections of the society along. But for some time now, the murmur of dissatisfaction among senior leaders regarding ticket distribution, organizational posts and decisions within the party had started coming out openly. Many party stalwarts and grassroots leaders are said to be angry over the fact that internal democracy within the organization is weakening and all decisions are being confined to the hands of select people. Due to this suffocation and dissatisfaction, voices of rebellion have started rising within the party, and workers have started openly questioning the working style of their own party, due to which it is becoming a big challenge for Upendra Kushwaha to keep his own party united.
During this entire incident, when the reactions of the leaders of the opposition parties started coming, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLA and brother Virendra Yadav, famous for his outspoken statements, made a sharp and sarcastic attack on Upendra Kushwaha. While giving the statement in his special style, Bhai Virendra Yadav said that in a party where only ‘husband-wife and family’ politics will dominate, it is inevitable that the hardworking and loyal workers coming from far and wide will suffocate. He directly pointed out that family interference in Upendra Kushwaha’s party has increased so much that other party leaders are not getting the right for their hard work, due to which the fire of rebellion is raging there today. His jibe about ‘husband-wife and politics’ has sparked a new debate from social media to tea shops, and everyone is discussing whether nepotism in regional parties is really becoming the biggest reason for their disintegration.
If we look at the history of Indian politics and especially the regional parties of Bihar, this is not the first time that there has been a rebellion within a party due to nepotism or political ambitions of husband and wife. When most of the small and regional parties move forward after their establishment, the biggest challenge they face is to give top positions to family members rather than organizational expansion. When the party cadre sees that even after years of hard work, people from only one family are occupying the top positions of the organization, then naturally disappointment and resentment arise within them. Political analysts are also looking at the spark of rebellion in Upendra Kushwaha’s party in the same perspective, because if the voices of dissatisfied leaders are ignored in time, then it can prove to be a big threat to the future of the party.
After this sharp attack by brother Virendra Yadav and the sounds of rebellion smoldering within the party, now all eyes are on the next political step of Upendra Kushwaha. Kushwaha is known as an experienced and strategic player in the politics of Bihar, who has seen many ups and downs before. To calm the discord within the party, he will soon have to take a tough and clear organizational decision, so that the trust of the angry leaders can be won back. If he fails to allay the resentment of his own people, this rebellion could prove costly for his party before the upcoming elections. However, while this statement of brother Virendra Yadav has given a new political weapon to the opposition, it has also posed the biggest test for the RLM chief to keep his clan united.
