The Bihar Turmoil


Political drama was ruling waves across the nation today as Bihar witness incredible , never seen before scenes from the State assembly complex . It all began way back , when Ex-CM Nitish kumar , for the first instance did a Kejriwal , apologizing to the masses for having done the blunder of stepping down from Bihar’s seat of power , following JD(U)’s humiliating and abject defeat in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections .
In what was considered to be a power-puppet show , Bihar was placed in the trusted hands of Manjhi , a trump card for JD(U)’s cast-ism facet of politi , with Nitish stepping down with a motto of
“reconnecting” with the masses and “eradicating” the spread of the so-called “communal forces” from regional legislation . Amidst all this , also happened the watershed moment of arch-rivals JD(U) and LJP-RJD leaving behind their mutual-bitterness to keep off the so-called “communal” forces from reigning Bihar state assembly . All in all , legislation in Bihar was all set for a roller-coaster ride , with the plot promising to better the “jungle-raaj” days .
With the advent of Manjhi , what returned also was low-key , class-biased statements and remarks , that made Manjhi media’s hero for unwanted reasons . In a very short time , Manjhi-led Bihar government was threateningly close to blow-off the lowest-lows India has seen in terms of political bantering .
All this while , when Bihar was experiencing worst days at the legislation , Nitish was lost amidst all
his self-assigned “home-work”  and then all of a sudden , Lord returned from his banavasa to reclaim the throne . But , Manjhi being no good child , politely refused , and thus was reached the climax of Bihar’s entertaining political blockbuster .
Since then , Bihar has been the central theme of Indian politi , be it Manjhi meeting PM Modi over “Team India” or Niti Ayog , or a Nitish vs Manjhi power show-off between respective supporters on Bihar roads , political suspense was at it’s peak !!
All this while , the struggle had included all possible parties , be the Central Government or the Governor , even the state’s Apex judiciary .Favouritism-led legislation was such extreme that a High court direction was required to be put in place , to prevent taters of Bihar legislation . A floor test in the state assembly was ensued .
The final twist in the tale was produced when Bihar BJP decided to join hands with Manjhi & Co. for the floor test and today was set to be inscribed deep into Bihar’s political history . News and speculations floated in as Manjhi went ahead to meet Guv early in the day as JD(U) and BJP took turns to protest for their respective causes in the state assembly complex .
The final verdict however remained covered , as Manjhi , in some sort of an anti-climax , put forth his resignation to the Guv , just moments before the main play , citing “death threats” to him and his supporters to be the cause behind . This brought an end to all speculations as expert analysis began into who actually gained or lost and what from this un-explainable political gimmick .


Well , whatever , it was , the plot was indeed incredibly entertaining and could better any classic Bollywood retro any day !!
