BJP to move Sushil Kumar Modi out of Bihar and appointed two senior deputy ministers
Patna:
Moments after Nitish Kumar was sworn in for the record fourth term as Chief Minister of Bihar, he admitted that he would miss his deputy Sushil Kumar Modi. Setting the terms for a whole new dynamic after scoring more than its ally Nitish Kumar in the elections, the BJP has decided to remove Sushil Modi from Bihar and appoint two new senior deputy ministers.
The BJP denied that Sushil Modi, who has been Bihar’s chief deputy minister for much of Nitish Kumar’s 15 years in power, was upset by the shakeup.
“Sushil Modi ji is not at all upset. It is an advantage for us. The party will think of him, he will be given a new responsibility,” Devendra Fadnavis, head of the BJP Bihar polls, told news agency. AND ME.
Speculation that Sushil Modi was disappointed grew louder after he posted yesterday: “The BJP and the Sangh Parivar gave me so much in 40-year political life that someone else might not have received it. I will fulfill the responsibility given to them. I will give. No one can take the job away from the worker. “
His party colleague and Union minister Giriraj Singh seemed to reassure Sushil Modi when he tweeted: “Respected Sushil ji, you are the leader, you held the post of senior vice minister, you will continue to be the leader of the BJP in the future as well. Nobody’s status is determined by the position they occupy. “
The long association of Nitish Kumar and Sushil Modi transcended the ups and downs of ties between their parties. Modi often intervened when cracks emerged in the National Democratic Alliance in Bihar and was the main one to defend Nitish Kumar when he faced attacks from Chirag Paswan or even BJP leaders.
Modi is widely believed to have created the collapse of Nitish Kumar’s alliance with the RJD and Congress in 2017. Amid corruption allegations against Tejashwi Yadav of the RJD, then his deputy, Kumar left the Mahagathbandhan, resigned and returned to power. in 14 hours with the NDA as your partner.
Nitish Kumar’s response to reporters after his oath betrayed his dejection.
“I will fulfill my responsibilities, what else? Every time something or another is new,” he said when asked about the drastic changes.
On whether Sushil Modi would have served Bihar better, Kumar said: “It is the decision of the BJP. You should ask the BJP.”
Would you miss Sushil Modi? “Yes,” the Chief Minister replied simply.
