Bihar's new governor stands out as a rare Muslim politician repeatedly rewarded by Modi govt, and alongside Anandiben Patel, only leader to be appointed as governor twice in past decade.
In order dated 10 October, an SDM in Badaun district summoned Patel to his court in connection with a complaint filed by a local resident over a family land dispute.
Bhupendra Patel is a low-profile first-time MLA, but has been selected to lead the BJP into next year’s assembly polls instead of Vijay Rupani, who resigned a day before.
CM Yogi Adityanath-led government had earlier approved the draft ordinance to curb forcible religious conversions, which can now land violators in jail for 10 years.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
