Chief Minister said he wanted Sushil Modi with him in his ministry, but he had to follow BJP decision.

It was speculated that the AIADMK which had recently taken on the BJP and disallowed the controversial Vel Yatra, may choose to stay away from an alliance with the BJP.

Political observers feel that the party is going ‘digital’ to ensure that the post of party President continues to remain firmly with the Gandhi family.

Official sources in the CM secretariat claimed the minister was sacked on orders of the chief minister.

It commented how long Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will hold ground under the “burden of favour” and if he will take a new route.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar reportedly turned down BJP’s suggestion to hand over Home and education to the deputy chief ministers.

The JDU leader was sworn in as Chief Minister for the first time on March 3, 2000.

The ruling alliance in Bihar has seen a split, literally, not among the allies as earlier predicted but the leadership that has been in the helm of affairs for last 13 years.

Moreover, it is unusual that the charge of the state secretary had been given to someone else while the secretary goes on leave.
