On the occasion of Makar Sankranti, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter and Pataliputra MP Misa Bharti made a significant political statement, suggesting the possibility of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s return to the Grand Alliance.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media at her mother and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi’s residence, she remarked, “The doors of Rabri Devi’s residence are always open for Nitish Kumar.”<\/p>\n
When asked about the likelihood of Nitish Kumar re-joining the Grand Alliance, Misa Bharti said: “Nothing is impossible in politics.”<\/p>\n
She further added, “It would be too early to say anything right now. Assembly elections are coming up. Auspicious work starts only after Kharmas.”<\/p>\n
Misa Bharti’s remarks have reignited discussions in Bihar’s political circles about the potential reconciliation between Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the RJD-led Grand Alliance.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Makar Sankranti, the RJD Chief’s elder daughter and Pataliputra MP emphasised familial ties and the fluid nature of political relationships.<\/p>\n
Misa Bharti reiterated that Rabri Devi’s residence is always open for Nitish Kumar, portraying him as a family member.<\/p>\n
“Nitish Kumar is elder to us and is like a guardian. There is no friend and enemy in politics.”<\/p>\n
She emphasised the bond between Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar, likening them to elder and younger brothers.<\/p>\n
Misa Bharti expressed a broader perspective on political alliances: “I have no enmity with PM Modi or Amit Shah, so why should we have enmity with Nitish Kumar?”<\/p>\n
Drawing on cultural and political symbolism, she hinted at potential changes in Bihar’s political scenario: “After Makar Sankranti, there is always some turmoil. It is the election year, and everyone speculates.”<\/p>\n
Referring to Nitish Kumar as a “family member” and “uncle”, she softened the tone of political rivalry, suggesting room for dialogue and reconciliation.<\/p>\n
This follows Lalu Prasad Yadav’s earlier offer to invite Nitish Kumar to rejoin the Grand Alliance, which the Chief Minister declined.<\/p>\n
However, Misa Bharti’s statements seem to keep the door open, highlighting the importance of flexibility in politics, especially with the upcoming Assembly elections.<\/p>\n
While Misa Bharti maintained an open and conciliatory tone, Tej Pratap Yadav expressed firm opposition to the idea.<\/p>\n
During the Chura-Dahi feast at Rabri Devi’s residence, Tej Pratap Yadav, Lalu Prasad Yadav’s elder son, emphatically rejected any potential rapprochement with Nitish Kumar: “We do not want to invite Nitish Kumar to come, and neither will we let him enter number 10 (Rabri Devi’s residence at 10 Circular Road, Patna).”<\/p>\n
Earlier, Tejashwi Yadav, the younger son of Lalu Prasad and the Leader of the Opposition in Bihar, had previously expressed scepticism about re-aligning with Nitish Kumar: “Joining hands with Nitish Kumar would be like shooting oneself in the foot.”<\/p>\n
