The discussion around Nitish Kumar Delhi influence has grown stronger because of his long experience in both state and central politics. In the past, he served as a Union minister in the government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee and also spent several years as a Member of Parliament.

Nitish Kumar has dominated Bihar politics for nearly two decades. He took oath as Chief Minister multiple times and built a strong political image during his leadership. Many supporters also call him “Sushasan Babu” because of his focus on governance, development projects, and welfare schemes.

Political observers say his party, JD(U), remains an important ally in the NDA alliance at the Centre. Because of his experience and political networks, Nitish Kumar may continue to influence decision-making in Delhi.

Meanwhile, BJP members strongly rejected the allegations. They accused AAP leaders of disrespecting Guru Tegh Bahadur and staged counter-protests inside the Assembly. As a result, sloganeering and disruptions continued throughout the session.

Sharmila argued that special status, Polavaram funding, the Kadapa steel plant and the Duggarajapatnam port were clear commitments. She said these guarantees are the rightful benefits of Andhra Pradesh. She added that not even five percent of these promises reached the people. She questioned the MPs’ memory and their responsibility towards the state.

She criticised BJP and state parties for focusing only on political gains. She said many MPs behave like rubber stamps in Delhi. She claimed their silence shows loyalty to Modi rather than the people. She said this attitude damaged the state’s progress and delayed key projects.

Sharmila questioned why leaders refuse to fight for special status when it could have boosted the economy. She accused Modi of cheating, Chandrababu of misleading people and Jagan of surrendering to the Centre. She said special status vanished from political discussions because leaders stopped raising their voices.

The criticism reflects broader concerns over ethical conduct and the need to maintain the sanctity of public office, keeping personal affiliations separate from state affairs.

Reacting sharply, AAP condemned the action, calling it a “diversionary tactic” by the central government to shift attention from pressing national issues. Party leaders alleged that the ruling BJP is misusing investigative agencies to target opposition voices ahead of crucial elections. They described the raid as “politically motivated harassment,” claiming Bhardwaj has always maintained transparency in his public life.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), however, countered these allegations, insisting that the ED raid was based on credible evidence of corruption. BJP spokespersons claimed that a “major scam” linked to irregularities in contracts and fund management had come to light and that Bhardwaj would have to answer serious questions.

The raid has triggered another round of political sparring between the two parties, with AAP framing it as an attack on democracy, while BJP maintained it was an essential step toward accountability and justice.
