Lalu Prasad plays his first trick on Nitish?

The swearing-in ceremony of Nitish Kumar is likely to be held on November 20th. Before that, he has to do lot of calculations for forming his cabinet. Nitish, Lalu and Congress party are reported to be formally agreed to share minister posts in 4:4:2 ratios. But, it is very difficult to come to consensus on which party should get which portfolio. As per the agreement made between them, deputy chief minister post will go to Lalu’s RJD party.

Obviously, everyone is predicting that either Tej Prathap Yadav or Tejaswi Yadav of Lalu two sons will get it. But, Lalu seems start playing his usual tricks on Nitish Kumar from the day one. He is reportedly bringing in his daughter Misa Bharti for deputy chief minister post instead of one of his sons. She did not contested in the recent elections and nor she is a member of Legislative council, yet he wants to rope her into Nitish cabinet as his deputy.

With this idea, Lalu Prasad plans to secure three minister posts for his family instead of two. Even, if his family gets only two minister posts, then also three of his family members will be in the power, two members as ministers and one as an MLA. It will provide more firm hold on Nitish Kumar's government for lalu Prasad Yadav, , who wants to sit in the back seat and drive Nitish Kumar government.

Lalu Prasad’s P.A. Bhola Yadav has been elected as MLA in the recent elections. He vacated his MLC seat before facing the elections and Lalu Prasad wants to put his daughter in his seat to make her eligible for holding deputy chief minister post.

Nitish may not raise any objection for offering deputy CM post to Misa Bharti or Lalu’s son, but can he digest Lalu’s idea for grabbing three minister posts for his family instead of two? May be this is the beginning for such bitter experiences with Lalu. However, they have a very long way to go.
