Relying on Nitish and Naidu for Indian Democracy’s Rescue: A Misguided Hope
Neither has said anything about the lynching of cattle transporters, or the arrest of chief ministers, or the misuse of central agencies
Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu are seasoned politicians with well-honed survival instincts.
