Nitish Kumar: The man for all seasons

Nitish Kumar remains the best bet for the NDA and indispensable to the BJP, which cannot afford to displease him beyond a point.Nitish has been trying to counter this with his slogan "15 years versus 15 years" (comparing his terms to that of Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi).Nitish has come a long way from the political years he spent in the shadow of, first, Lalu, and then George Fernandes in the Samata Party, which the two of them had founded in 1994.
