In episode 710 of 'Cut the Clutter', Shekhar Gupta analyses Israel's fourth elections in 2 years and PM Netanyahu's failed attempt to break the political deadlock.
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has passed a spate of controversial laws, with the opposition alleging that he is bulldozing them through while being averse to building a consensus.
Bihar Assembly Tuesday witnessed unprecedented turmoil and police was called in to evict legislators of RJD, Congress and the Left, who had laid siege to the Speakers chamber.
With Modi govt looking to promote blending of ethanol in petrol, Bihar last week launched an Ethanol Production Policy, 2021, the first state in the country to do so.
Israel's response to Iran's retaliatory attack was relatively small and also downplayed by Tehran. But there are factors that could jeopardise this perceived reprieve.
The 125 APAs include 86 Unilateral APAs (UAPAs) and 39 Bilateral APAs (BAPAs). The total number of APAs since the start of the APA programme has risen to 641, with 506 UAPAs and 135 BAPAs.
Whatever this author may write, Nitish Kumar is a far better CM compared to Lalu or his son Tejashwi. Bihar is in safe hands as long as Nitish is at the helm. It’s only the opposing politicians who are trying every possible way to defeat Nitish.
Nitish Kumar was once the pride of Bihar. Due to his utter selfishness and shamelessness, his stature has gone even beneath Lalu Yadav.
2020 was the election made for RJD (yes, Biharis were ready to bite this bullet as they had choice between the devil and the sea) but Nitish stole the election using local spineless and shameless district magistrates in half dozen seats.
Modi hates Bihar and Biharis. He will do nothing to stop this rot.
Yadav brothers of RJD are too reckless (Elder one is a dickhead) to be given command of 12 crore people’s fate.
Congress is in rots in Bihar due to Gandhi Family’s control of the party.
BJP leaders of the state are deeply casteist, misogynist, regressive, Brahministic dickheads.
So, there’s a need of a new forward thinking party to come up and save Bihar before it becomes true basket case of whole India.
Otherwise, Bihari rich men and intellectuals (like me) will continue to migrate and settle in Delhi leaving behind all the shit as is the case with H1B visa seeking aspirational Indians.
If CM Nitish Kumar was an author, one would say he has got a severe attack of writer’s block. Unclear what his politics is now all about. It does not seem to be about the welfare of the people of his state, 100 million of India’s least prosperous but amongst the most industrious.
Not casting aspersions on the integrity of this autor/ politician, but I would like to make a broader point. Recently I have seen a creeping trend in this website of allowing coloumns by active politicians. Not only that, the frequency is increasing. I dont think this is a welcome development for any media publication. For example, let me point out the case of Yogendra Yadav. Mr Yadav is a failed politician, who tried to piggy back on Anna Hazare’s movement. Unfortunately he was jettisoned by kejriwal in a rather brutal manner and since then Mr Yadav has been running his own political outfit. Every other day he gets space on the pages of this website and spews venom against the Government. From Mr Yadav’s point of view, there is nothing wrong in it! He is anti BJP, he is a politician. He is doing what he is supposed to do. But from Print’s perspective, is this justified? Can regular coloumns by Mr Yadav be considered ‘Journalism’ OR ‘Commentary’ OR ‘Analysis’? In conclusion, my appeal would be this – Once in a while any reputable publication/ website SHOULD invite politicians to comment on a pressing matter. BUT making these politcians a regular on your platform can be devastating. Just my opinion.

People voted him to power because of two things – 1. He’s not corrupt Laloo, or his semi literate son, 2. BJP was in support of Nitish Kumar.
Everything is a hogwash. His only role is to keep Laloo types out of power and save Bihar from reverting to jungle raaj. Ask women in Bihar.

Well said.
