The resignation of Rajiv Ranjan Singh ‘Lalan’ from his position as national president of the Janata Dal (United) and his replacement with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is being referred to as the “just the start of a game” by the BJP, with a second act to follow soon in this political drama.
“I had been predicting for a week that Lalan Singh will be removed. He had to be removed due to his growing proximity to [Rashtriya Janata Dal leader] Lalu Prasad. This is, however, not the end of the game, in fact it is just the start of the game. Much has to happen after this. Wait for the next act of this game,” posted Bihar’s former deputy CM and BJP MP Sushil Kumar Modi.
