NiKu has understood Lalu will screw him. He is eyeing Delhi in 2019
I think his calculations are
No of BJP seats in 2019
1 > 250 - Senior Cabinet Position
2 200 - 250 Deputy PM under Modi
3 175 - 200 Deputy PM under Sushma/AJ/Any other leader
4 < 175 Third Front PM with outside Congress Support
Bad bad mistake by BJP if they let NiKu in.
NiKu definitely wants in. But why should BJP entertain him? Wasn't he the same guy who wouldn't even share the stage with Modi? Now that NiKu is breaking bread with convicts and goondas of RJD just to stop Modi's BJP, why should they even entertain such a preposterous idea?
Fact is the DNA of JDU and BJP don't match at all. Bihar is long gone and BJP should let NiKu stew in his own juice. BJP is well advised to look elsewhere to make up for the numbers in 2019.
And if they can't muster numbers on their own, there's nothing wrong in honorably taking the mantle of opposition than to truck with this opportunistic thug. He will only be biding his time to pull Modi/BJP down and to replace him at the NDA helm.
Letting him in is definitely not an option but his alliance has to be broken, those seats are really too valuable to let go of. In a three way contest, bjps core voter base can easily secure majority of seats in bihar.
The alliance was just a marriage of convenience and is fundamentally fragile at many levels. Lalu, after his conviction and 2 straight losses, just wanted a legitimate face to bring out his hatchlings into politics with. NiKu was just too desperate to stop Modi's march.
Now that both their objectives have been met, the alliance will wither away in time even without BJP's help. Lalu has gained legitimacy at the expense of NiKu. And Bihar finally got the goonda-raj back that they so desperately voted for. Everybody should be happy except the Bihar-BJP which is nothing but a bunch of trouble-makers.
In any case, I think the last thing that BJP should be doing is throw NiKu another lifeline.
