In a candid interview from Azamgarh, UP Cabinet Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar dismissed Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s Rajya Sabha aspirations as a natural progression of unchecked political hunger. ‘Every leader dreams bigger after tasting power,’ he remarked, outlining the hierarchy from village head to the highest office.
Nitish himself fueled the buzz with a post declaring his intent to join the upper house as a personal choice, prompting BJP’s enthusiastic support. Rajbhar emphasized, ‘No one can stop him; he’s his own boss, and the alliance has welcomed him wholeheartedly.’
Addressing rumors of Nitish returning as CM under BJP, Rajbhar stressed it’s the MLAs’ call while reaffirming NDA commitment. Turning to critics, he lambasted Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav for perpetual government bashing, warning they’d lose votes praising schemes.
The minister touted BJP’s equitable pension hikes and transparent farmer aid distribution, contrasting it with SP’s era of corruption and leakages. ‘Opposition cries foul because their scams are plugged,’ he asserted.
As Bihar’s political landscape simmers, Rajbhar’s words reflect the NDA’s confidence and the opposition’s struggles, setting the stage for intense electoral battles.
