Why Nitish Cabinet expansion has sparked JD(U) fears of BJP play for ‘supremacy’

  The induction of seven new ministers, all from the BJP, into Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's Cabinet appears to have created uneasiness in the state’s ruling NDA coalition, with a section raising concerns that it has “upset” the power balance ahead of the Assembly elections due in six months.

While some leaders of the Nitish-led JD(U) argue that the Cabinet expansion was long pending since the BJP had not filled the Cabinet vacancies in its share for over a year, others in the party pointed out that the BJP’s decision to appoint ministers from the castes considered to be the JD(U)’s support base, did not go down well with the coalition, especially at a time when the allies have started their poll preparations. BJP sources said it was a move to “reinforce” the party’s “superiority” ahead of the seat-sharing discussions and strategy planning.

The expansion inducted three ministers belonging to forward castes – Rajputs, Bhumihars and Vaishya (Baniya) – and one each from Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs). It is being projected as the BJP’s attempt to do caste balancing in its state leadership.

AAP MLA Evicted from Gujarat Assembly Over Sticker Protesting Land Survey

  In a dramatic turn of events, AAP MLA Hemant Ahir from Jamjodhpur constituency in Jamnagar district was evicted from the Gujarat Assembly on Tuesday after he refused to remove a protest sticker from his t-shirt. The sticker, which read “Khoti Jamin Mapni Radd Karo” (Cancel Faulty Land Mapping) in Gujarati, was a direct criticism of the state's land survey system. Ahir entered the Assembly during the Question Hour, wearing the t-shirt with the visible protest sticker. Speaker Shankar Chaudhary immediately took notice and pointed out that such displays of protest are against the rules of the Gujarat Assembly. When Ahir was asked to either remove the sticker or leave the House, he argued that he was only trying to draw attention to the issues affecting farmers, particularly the faulty land mapping.
