Saved by a mere whisker!

Deputy CM Sushil Modi wins a reprieve, albeit temporary, in Bihar

Prominent BJP leader and Bihar’s deputy chief minister (CM), Sushil Modi, has managed a reprieve beating his nearest party rivals 35-32 in a show of strength that was baffling at best and shady at worst. It could only happen in the Republic of Bihar that a leader of legislators in the state assembly, has had to seek a vote to continue in that position! That swords were out for Modi in the Bihar BJP is no revelation. What came as a surprise was the way in which dissidence was controlled in pure BJP style. When it became clear that their deputy chief ministerial candidate was in trouble if voting took place, the party promptly brought in 14 MLCs into the voting fray – through the backdoor. Not surprisingly, Modi sailed through. Troubles for Modi began as soon as the Bihar Cabinet was announced.
