Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar gave his VIP cavalcade a miss on Sunday evening when he sauntered a few hundred metres to attend the 'Iftar' party hosted by his deputy Tejashwi Yadav.
The march towards 10, Circular Road, reminded people of a similar sight a year ago when Nitish Kumar's visit to the house allotted to his predecessor in power Rabri Devi, who is Tejashwi Yadav's mother, had given an inkling of the political cataclysm the JD(U) supremo was set to trigger in a few months.
Now, firmly in the 'Mahagathbandhan', Nitish Kumar reached the venue smilingly, flanked on either side by confidants Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan, the JD(U)'s national president, and Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, a minister known to be the 'trouble shooter' of his boss.
The young Deputy CM, who was donning a 'Pathan' suit, welcomed the visitors with bouquets of flowers and placed skullcaps on their heads, a practice followed by practitioners of 'secular' politics in Bihar, which the BJP, their natural opponent, has always been all too happy to denounce as an alleged gesture of 'appeasement'.
