Amit Shah's Moves To Watch: In Rajasthan, Bihar For BJP Meets Next Month

Amit Shah's first visit to Bihar since Nitish Kumar dumped BJP; assembly elections are due in 2025, so focus for now will be Lok Sabha 2024
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, seen as the BJP's chief strategist, will be in two Opposition-ruled states, Rajasthan and Bihar, next month for party programmes.
While in Rajasthan he'd be hoping to put together a more cohesive challenge to the Congress ahead of assembly polls next year, it's Bihar that presents a larger challenge — that of resurgence after being dumped by Nitish Kumar.
In his first visit to Bihar since the JDU-BJP breakup, Amit Shah will participate in programmes related to his ministry, besides party meets, in Kishenganj and Purnea on September 17 and 18.
Mr Shah is often billed a modern-day Chanakaya by his admirers, yet here he has a point to prove, because Nitish Kumar remains in the chair despite taking JDU out of the alliance with BJP — quite an embarrassment for a party that takes pride in effecting political breakups, such as the one in Maharashtra recently.
