hHave you ever heard of ‘Operation Lantern’? Don’t worry. I do not have too. But it is rumored that the RJD has decided to copy the BJP’s ‘Operation Lotus’ – to create one of its own to topple the government. But the first attempt to carry out ‘Operation Lantern’ could not be successful. Under this, RJD leader and Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav tried to split the LJP and was almost successful in wooing three of its five Lok Sabha MPs. But to escape the anti-defection law, another MP was needed. Hence ‘Operation Lantern’ could not be lit. But sources say that Tejashwi has not given up.
Post Operation Holiday for Bihar MLAs
By the way, the way the throne of power changed hands in Bihar, no one was entertained by it. Neither the news of horse-trading nor did the MLAs get a chance to stay in the luxurious resort. The government changed without much uproar. But Jitan Ram Manjhi of Hindustani Awam Morcha has now urged Nitish Kumar to take all this a little ‘serious’. Manjhi has reportedly requested the Bihar Chief Minister to make arrangements to take his MLAs to a hill station or beach location for two to four days to celebrate the change of guard. However, such enjoyment may not be available to those who have been successful in getting ministerial posts. They have to convert their homes into resorts.

There is tremendous turmoil going on in the BJP circles. It’s about the fear of being exposed and the challenge of keeping things a secret.

Rahul cares about senior professionals
Before the Congress’s own tricolor yatra, a lot of efforts were being made in the party about who would support Rahul Gandhi. Yet no one was even willing to see the names included in the infamous G23 group. However, on the morning of 15 August, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Anand Sharma suddenly reached the party headquarters. The leaders who were thinking of going with Rahul Gandhi felt a little uncomfortable, but they were confident that Gandhi would not give any exemption to these people. However, when the journey began, Gandhi asked Azad to lead and then took Anand with him. Everyone else was following him. A general secretary following the lead group said it is the old guard that matters in difficult times. Another general secretary, who was accompanying him, quipped that he must have been dreaming in vain.
BJP looking for Brahmin face
With Draupadi Murmu taking over the presidency, the BJP is now looking for someone from the ‘upper’ castes, especially from the Brahmin community, who can fulfill the need for a strong Brahmin face. It matters more in UP. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is a Rajput by birth. UP BJP President Swatantra Dev Singh has already resigned. In such a situation, there is a strong possibility of a Brahmin leader being made the UP President of the party. Shrikant Sharma was the power minister in UP during Yogi’s first term, but was dropped from the cabinet in the last reshuffle. Now he is being considered as the frontrunner in the race for the state BJP president. Apart from him, there is also Laxmikant Vajpayee, who has already been the president of UP BJP. The name of Aligarh MP Satish Gautam is also in discussion for a long time.
