After the formation of the new NDA government in Bihar and the swearing in of the Chief Minister, the reactions of the opposition are continuously coming to the fore. In this series, National President of Samajwadi Party and former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav has shared an interesting post on his ‘ex’, which has created a new stir in the political circles.
Akhilesh Yadav shared those pictures when India Alliance was being formed and Nitish Kumar was playing an important role in uniting that alliance. Along with the pictures, Akhilesh wrote that at that time he had tried to elevate Nitish Kumar to the post of Prime Minister. He wrote- “We wanted to make him the PM, but Nitish Kumar remained the CM.” With this comment, Akhilesh congratulated Nitish Kumar on taking oath as Chief Minister. He wrote in the message that congratulations to Nitish Kumar on taking oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar and best wishes for a public welfare, positive and independent governance system based on its core socialist ideology for the next five years.

best wishes wrapped in political satire
Seeing this post of Akhilesh Yadav, experts believe that this is not just a congratulatory message but also a political sarcasm. During the formation of INDIA alliance, Nitish Kumar was being considered as a possible face for the post of Prime Minister among the opposition leaders. Many leaders including Akhilesh had also praised Nitish’s active role.
But after a few months, Nitish Kumar broke ties with the alliance and returned to NDA. Since then, he has been accused of U-turn politics by the opposition.

What is the political message behind the post?
Akhilesh making old photographs public again is an indication that he is trying to corner Nitish Kumar over his constantly changing political stance. The pictures remind that Nitish was once the center of unity of the opposition, but now the same Nitish has become the Chief Minister by joining the NDA. Akhilesh’s statement that he wanted to make him PM is being seen as a political satire.
Nitish’s oath and opposition’s reaction
Nitish Kumar has created a new record by taking oath as Chief Minister for the 10th time. However, immediately after the oath taking ceremony, many opposition leaders put his credibility under question. This post of Akhilesh is also being considered a part of the same political reaction.
