Nitish Kumar: The man who helped in formation of INDIA bloc now to become kingmaker in NDA govt

Patna: One of the oldest allies of the BJP, Bihar Chief MinisterNitish Kumar, who heads the JD(U), finds himself in the kingmaker's position, with the saffron camp falling short of a majority in the Lok Sabha. The septuagenarian had also played a key role in the formation of the INDIA bloc, hosting the first meeting of oppositionleaders from across the country. No wonder, he is said to be getting feelers from the opposition alliance.

His relationship with BJP goes back to the mid-1990s when Kumar had collaborated with veteran socialist leader late George Fernandes to float the Samata Party, as a revolt against Lalu Prasad, the then chief minister of Bihar, who had acquired an overbearing presence in the Janata Dalfounded by former prime minister V P Singh.

The past collaboration that the socialists had with the Jan Sangh, the BJP's previous avatar, members of which had stoutly refused to give up their association with RSS, had made the former suspicious of the Hindutva clan.
