But two years into his tenure, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar cannot depend upon some signals or a few good decisions alone. Admittedly, the symbolism of Anant Singh’s arrest — like the jailing of another bahubali MLA of the JD(U), Sunil Pandey earlier — is powerful. But more needs to be done beyond taking some handpicked cases to their lawful conclusion. Even in the present case, Nitish Kumar must account for why no disciplinary action has been taken against Anant Singh by the JD(U), why he still remains a member of the ruling party.
