Won't be surprised in the least if PK does a Chirag Paswan on Nitiswa this elections.
Tridib Raman has been consistent with his claims that PK has modeled his party as the b team of Bihar BJP. He is supposed to do exactly what Chirag Paswan did last time around but apparently, MoSha do not think that highly of him.
Anyway, have you noticed how the caste census thingy has totally disappeared from the media post op Sindoor? Even the congressis are not talking about it anymore.
I think it is now safe to conclude that leaderji timed it that way deliberately - the caste kangers will not be able to do what they did prior to LS polls (ie, fear mongering over 'muh reservations gone reee') and will be forced to counter BJP's nationalist rhetorics instead (and get called 'traitors' in response).
This is post Pulwama politics all over - all those 'suit boot ki sarkar'/Rafale jibes and 'Nyay' kanging went out of the window the moment Balakot happened.
Ji is blessed this way, whenever he is in trouble his enemies commit seppuku and provide him the breathing space to stage a comeback.
Ji's vintage 'macho man' image is back. Will he now be able to commit to the politically challenging policy decisions he was supposedly planning to undertake with his projected supermajority post LS 2019? We will find out soon enough.
