The landslide win of Nitish Kumar has perhaps paved the way for the projection of Nitish on the national centre stage. After L K Advani's rejection by the people as BJP's PM candidate in 2009 polls, BJP is left with three choices : Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley and Narendra Modi. But, none of them could be acceptable to its allies. On the other hand, Nitish Kumar could be an acceptable face! Nitish, a non-BJP leader, can claim Vajpayee's mantle for the first time. Being from Backward class, Nitish can bring support from backward driven parties. With his socialist background he may be acceptable to many Southern groups and even Mulayam Singh. With the precision of the engineer that he is, Nitish is more pragmatic, realistic and practical. Roads, bicycles, culverts and security; the nuts and bolts issues saw Nitish Kumar through. If this formula can work in Bihar; why can't it work for 2014 elections ? Yes, Nitish Kumar has arrived and it will be impossible for anybody to ignore him !
