JD(U) MLA Gopal Mandal Predicts Political Decline for Nitish if Aligning with BJP Again

Mandal's remarks came in response to Jitan Ram Manjhi, the former chief minister of Bihar, who had earlier commented on Nitish Kumar's reliability. Manjhi had suggested that Kumar might shift political allegiances unpredictably, potentially reuniting with the BJP.

JD(U) MLA Gopal Mandal expressed concerns on Thursday, stating that if Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar aligns with the BJP again, it would mark the beginning of his political downfall. Mandal conveyed this opinion to the media in Bhagalpur, emphasizing his belief that despite any personal consequences, Kumar might still forge an alliance with the BJP. Mandal warned that such a move would lead to a decline in Kumar's political stature, especially considering their past association with the BJP.

In a counterattack against Manjhi, Gopal Mandal questioned Manjhi's political future, especially if he belongs to the Musahar community, and criticized him for making statements without significant meaning. Mandal also highlighted that Manjhi's previous alliance with the BJP could impact his standing within the Musahar community.

The political landscape in Bihar appears to be dynamic, with leaders expressing divergent opinions on potential alliances and the future trajectories of key political figures.
