Split in NDA: Upendra Kushwaha resigns from Modi cabinet


New Delhi, Dec 10 (IT): In a major blow to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Upendra Kushwaha, Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) chief, has resigned as the Union Minister of State (MoS) for Human Resource and Development (HRD).

The decision to rest the endless speculations of him severing ties with National Democratic Alliance (NDA) came hours after Kushwaha said that he wil not attend the allies meeting today.

Upendra Kushwaha had been targeting the BJP after the latter refused to give it more than two seats to contest the Lok Sabha election 2019. The saffron party, however, went out of way to accommodate Nitish Kumar by agreeing that the BJP and the Janata Dal (United) would fight equal number of seats.

Kushwaha had been maintaining that the number of seats his party was offered was not respectable. He had even hinted at a "great threat" to the NDA if his party is not offered a respectable number of seats to contest the Lok Sabha elections 2019.

    a spectre of a split also looms large on the RLSP with both its MLAs and lone MLC, besides one of its MPs, are said to be in touch with Kumar and keen on remaining in the NDA in the event of Kushwaha severing ties with it.

    Most of the Indian politicians are either uncivilised or un principled. Anyone any moment they can become communal to secular and secular to communal.

    Actually Kushwaha's RSLP is somewhat similar to Jiten Mahji's fledling party Hindustan Awam Morcha. Only empty vessels, full noise, no voice.

    No loss to NDA because of his exit, but he will be a disaster to UPA or CONgress if they choose to enlist him.

    If Congress comes to power, first IT raid and scrutinizing the papers/documents of his son's company and accumulated wealth as well as records of fixed income tax returns. Sub gol maal hai Bhai sub gol mal. The list is big and the process is cumbersome.

    BJP's disasterous, count down is in the making. They are only power hungry and wanted to impose Hindutva philosophy and logic throughout the country.
    They (Amit - the Gomata Shah) are playing a dirty game in Shabarimala issue by dividing the people of Kerala by mixing peoples sentiments with political aspirations. In the name religious sanctity, they are poisoning people and trying to bring disharmony in Kerala. People should realize the importance of saving democratic values and secular norms of our country and dispose of this communal party called BJP. They have reached the stage of hysteria and false pride.
    All should act now rather than regretting in the future. Enough is enough.
