Nitish Kumar and his politics

Nitish Kumar (#Niku) is the new found love of Congress and paid media (e.g., NDTV, CNN-IBN, Timesnow...). We got to know his true colors after BJP elevated Narendra Modi as the chief of the election campaign for 2014 general elections. Immediately after the event on June 10, 2013 in Goa, Nitish Kumar and JD(U) were found saying that it was a BJP interval event. One week after that JD(U) severed political ties with BJP. JD(U) is an independent political party and it can do whatever is best for them. However, when a party tries to fool the voters, it is no longer acceptable. We should clarify a few questions from Nitish Kumar. Niku and JD(U) kept saying that they wanted a leader for NDA (and the PM candidate) which would have the following characteristics. 

  1. He/she should take forward all sections of the society along with him. Does he mean to say that Narendra Modi never took forward all sections in Gujarat. Gujaratis voted him to power 3 times in a row. Isn't Niku implying that Gujarati voters are greater fools than the Biharis ? Does Niku have evidence to show that Modi didn't help poorer sections of the society whereas Niku did everything for poor Biharis ?
  2. He/she should have secular image. He obviously is implying that Narendra Modi does not have one. Is Niku not disrespecting all non-Hindu voters who voted for Modi ?
  3. He/she should respect the party elders. It seems he forgot how he forgot his party elder George Fernandes.

Niku has already appreciated & welcomed 'secular' certificate given by the prime minister, Manmohan Singh (MMS). Who is MMS ? He is a Sikh who according to me has not done anything to enable the Sikh community to win any kind of justice for the victims of 1984 Sikh massacre. The Sikh massacre was sponsored by Congress party under Rajiv Gandhi. It was not a riot. The Sikhs were sorted out and butchered. Two of Congress Ministers who are widely believed (according to multiple witnesses) to be involved are Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler. Most of the riots in Gujarat happened under Congress regime. In fact the recent riots in Assam and Maharastra happened under the watch of Congress Chief Ministers. For how long will pseudo-secular ministers like Nitish Kumar will make fools of the citizens and voters ?
