Malcolm Merlyn Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Nobody can damage AK's credibility...he is the phenom...cant be stopped now... Hardly!He has made his image as a honest novel politician.Any association with the Lalus and Mulayams and that image will be washed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachin=GOD Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Join whom? Which Janta Parivar leader isnt involved in corruption?Except Nitish may be?AK will damage his credibility if he joins Janta Parivar. I'm not saying he will necessarily join...just that at some point he will be invited. Right now there is no National Opposition leader in India - Congress is dead and Rahul Gandhi is sleeping (though he is inept even when he is active) so the regional parties are looking everywhere to prop up someone to take the fight to Modi. Mamta is currently doing that from WB but its not the same when done from hundreds of KM away....the National Opposition leader has to be in Delhi. Kejri still has a clean image and he is in Delhi, even if at the state level, so I am sure in some way they will ask him to join the fight against Modi. RJD/JDU/TMC/Left/MIM all already gave their complete support to him in Delhi elections (and as much as he will criticize these corrupt parties, he didn't refuse anyone's support like he found the need to "refuse" Bukhari's support).

rkt.india Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Countdown to an invite for Kejriwal to (formally or informally) join the Janata Parivar/Third Front starts today.... Will stop following AAP if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stays as CM then it will be big trouble for RJD-JDU as he will flex his muscles now and demand that his supporters be given tickets and will have his say in campaigning as well while Nitsh/Lalu will grumble and fight with him. Happy days ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_B_ Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I get a feeling Nitish did not think things through. he will have to wait till the floor test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachin=GOD Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 ^Yup. Seems to have been done in haste. If Nitsh and Sharad Yadav had sat down with Manjhi and talked to him and offered him Deputy CM or Speaker's post then I am 100% sure he would have resigned immediately. They thought they could just force him out and insult him so he got defiant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Blaming Modi for Manjhi job.. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Nitish-Kumar-MLAs-being-offered-Rs-1-crore/articleshow/46215271.cms Nitish Kumar: MLAs being offered Rs 1 crore When we were sure that Manjhi was acting on behest of people from outside the party, mainly BJP, we decided to act. How can one continue in government with the support of just 12 MLAs? When we met the governor, we informed him that we need to be clear on who will prepare the Governor's speech ahead of the budget session. So, we requested the Governor to ask Manjhi show his strength as soon as possible. But by giving a time till February 20, it is clear that the design is to encourage horse-trading," Kumar said when probed. READ ALSO: Governor following script from Delhi The former Bihar chief minister also alleged that his party's MLAs were "lured with ministerial positions and one crore rupees." "What BJP was doing was a direct attack on democratic and constitutional norms and people of Bihar will teach it a lesson similar to what voters in Delhi did", Kumar said, referring to the party's debacle in Delhi Assembly polls. Bihar will go to polls later this year. Kisko ullu bana raha hain? He was ready to dump Manjhi on the behest of RJD's influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 JDU-RJD is playing a smart game, 2 games actually. They are linking many corruption, scams, crimes in Bihar to Manjhi. Manjhi has become the scapegoat and will help in dividing anti incumbency votes for them. Secondly, linking Manjhi and BJP together, thus possible trying to create a negative image of their nearest competitor. The thing that offsets all this is the Maha Dalit factor. Had this been BJP, I am sure our media would have been terming it as a big insult to Dalits and created a big controversy over it. But this insult to Dalit and Nitish's greed is understated by our paid media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulbul Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 PATNA: With senior JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar admitting mistake in choosing Jitan Ram Manjhi to succeed him as Chief Minister of Bihar, Manjhi today said that it was not just a "mistake" but "a great mistake". "I have spent 34 year in politics and worked on different posts as minister and legislator...he (Nitish) committed great mistake in assuming that I'll act like his puppet," Manjhi told reporters. Manjhi, who had been so far maintaining restrain in making comments on Nitish Kumar, said "it is true that after becoming CM in May last year for 1-2 months, I used to act on whatever instruction that came from there (Nitish Kumar) on which people started calling me a rubber stamp CM and being run by remote by Kumar," he said. "But, soon my self-respect *****ed my conscience and I started asserting for rights of poor which he and people close to him did not like," Manjhi who began his electoral career in 1980 as MLA from Congress said. "Mein garib jaroor hu par swabhiman rakhta hu (I am a poor no doubt but has self respect)," he said.
