The RJD led by Laloo Prasad Yadav has strongly opposed the Governor V.N.Pandey's decision to ask the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)leader Nitish Kumar to form the government in Bihar.The RJD, in fact, on Sunday crippled the entire state of Bihar protesting against the gross injustice meted out to the party and has asked the President RK.K.Narayanan to step in and ensure that justice is done in a state which does not take much to go up in flames. The RJD said that the sucess of the bandh on Sunday has proved that the people are entirely with Laloo Prasad yadav and that the Governor should be immediately shifted out of the state. The RJD has said that chief minister Nitish Kumar has also used "fascist methods'' in deploying personnel of the Rapid Action Force to quell the bandh and that peaceful demonstrators have been attacked by the security personnel. The RJD has said that it confident that the Nitish Kumar government is bound to fall if it takes a confidence vote in the Assembly.The RJD has said that the Governor had acted unconstitutionally in installing Nitish Kumar and that the fate of the chief minister would be the same as that of Sushma Swaraj in Delhi some months back. Nitish Kumar, the RJD has said, was being made a scapegoat by the NDA leadership led by the BJP. However, questions are being raised on the Congress role in Bihar. There are doubts as to why Sonia Gandhi did not announce the Congress' support for the RJD when she had called Laloo over to Delhi but left for Bhopal without meeting him. There are also pertinent questions being raised as to why she had not delegated the responsibility of making the announcement to some other high command leader when it was apparent that the Governor could go ahead and install Nitish Kumar as chief minister without scant regard for his Constitutional obligations. Bihar obviously is in for trouble and all blame for this should rest squarely on the shoulders of the Governor.
