Manjhi wrote a letter to the
Governor KN Tripathi yesterday, requesting him to not to accept any proposition
put forward by the JDU legislature party meeting headed by Sharad Yadav. In his
letter he has pointed out that it is the Chief Minister's prerogative to call
for the meeting of the party legislators. Manjhi has also recommended that 15
ministers should be removed from their posts with immediate effects.
In the meanwhile, 20 ministers
have sent their resignation letters to the Governor to show their support to
Kumar.
Bihar seems to be going towards a
political crisis as the state cabinet has authorized Manjhi to recommend the
dissolution of the state assembly, and the legislature party of the JDU has
decided to remove Manjhi from the post of the leader of the legislature party.
In the current political
scenario, 97 of the 111 MLAs of the party have elected Nitish Kumar the leader
of the legislature party and recommended the removal Manjhi, who was handpicked
by Nitish Kumar himself for the post of CM following JDU's devastating
performance in the general elections nine months back.
Whatever the outcome of this
political dilemma be in Bihar, the state is quite definitely headed for a constitutional
crisis; the Governor must be feeling the heat about whether to deploy the state
cabinet's recommendation to dissolve the house or let the new legislature party
headed by Kumar to try and form a new government in the state that is going for
elections in six months’ time.
