Nitish Kumar’s ‘swing politics’ sparks humour fest

Kumar joined the ‘Mahagathbandhan’ in August 2022 when he snapped ties with the BJP, accusing it of trying to “split” his Janata Dal (United).He then formed a new government with a multi-party coalition that included the RJD, the Congress and three Left parties.Several WhatsApp forwards took a swipe at Kumar’s ‘swing politics’.One photograph of the JD(U) chief was captioned “Paltiputra”, wordplay on the ancient name of Patna, Patliputra.In other messages, he was jokingly referred as “The Former & Future CM of Bihar?” or the “swing” bowler — again taking a dig at his frequent change in ideological stances.A user on X shared an image of Kumar and a U-turn sign board along with a post reading: “Nitin Gadkari announces removing all the U-turns signs and replacing them with a picture of Nitish Kumar,” it said, referring to the Union Road and Transport minister.The 34-year-old RJD leader gave up studies after failing Class 9 at Delhi’s DPS, RK Puram.
