Bihar politics
In severing ties with his alliance partner, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and joining hands with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) now, Nitish Kumar has yet again proved the political line that “there is neither a permanent foe nor a permanent friend in politics” (Page 1, “Nitish Kumar dumps BJP for RJD, set to form govt. afresh”, August 10). Perhaps he ought to have tendered his resignation and sought fresh elections, maybe in alliance with the RJD and other like-minded parties.
