After Nitish Kumar Silences Critics, a Poster in Patna Speaks Louder Than Words

Patna: After quelling internal dissent within his party, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has found himself facing a new challenge – a poster that has emerged in the state capital, Patna. The poster, which has gone viral on social media, features a photograph of Kumar with the word “Silent” written across his mouth.

The poster has sparked a flurry of speculation and commentary in political circles. Some observers believe it is a sign of growing discontent within the Janata Dal (United) or JD(U), the party led by Kumar. Others believe it is the work of the opposition, which is looking to capitalize on any signs of weakness in the ruling dispensation.

The poster has been put up in several prominent locations in Patna, including the bustling Jagdeo Path area. It has attracted a lot of attention from passersby, many of whom have stopped to take photographs and share them on social media.

Kumar, who has been in power in Bihar since 2005, has been facing criticism from within his own party in recent months. Some JD(U) leaders have accused him of being autocratic and ignoring their concerns.

In a bid to quell the dissent, Kumar recently reshuffled his cabinet and removed some of his critics from key positions. However, the poster suggests that the internal strife within the JD(U) may not be over yet.

The opposition, meanwhile, has been quick to seize on the poster as an opportunity to attack Kumar. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the main opposition party in Bihar, has claimed that the poster is a reflection of the growing public anger against Kumar’s government.

Kumar has not yet commented on the poster. However, it is likely to become a talking point in the run-up to the upcoming state assembly elections in Bihar, which are scheduled to be held next year.

In the meantime, the poster in Patna serves as a reminder that even the most powerful leaders can find themselves facing unexpected challenges. It also highlights the importance of open and transparent communication within political parties to prevent internal dissent from spilling over into the public domain.
