In an interview, Sushil Kumar Modi defended the Bihar govt on charges of poor infrastructure, delayed decisions, and absence of Nitish Kumar from public eye.
Bihar is dealing with the issue of social stigmatisation amid Covid-19 scare as not just migrant workers, but even doctors treating patients are being shunned.
The Bihar chief minister also said Rs 100 crore has been released from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund for setting up shelters for rickshaw pullers and daily-wage earners.
Tejashwi Prasad Yadav also offered to donate a month's salary to the chief minister's relief fund to help those in need in the wake of coronavirus crisis.
Pushpam Priya Choudhary, a London-educated woman from a political family in Darbhanga, has left Bihar stunned with her 2020 'candidature' announcement.
The people of conflict-torn Manipur will have every right to feel betrayed if the new government doesn’t break its silence and show its commitment to addressing the state's issues.
Move to bring down differences in commodity prices with neighbouring states, says government. Oppn, dealers blame it on welfare, Congress's guarantees.
Occasional lovers’ tiffs have marked history of RSS-BJP relations. To think that Nagpur will bring about any change in leadership is a misreading of both its intent and its power.
In some countries regular prisoners, not criminally threatening to the societies, are being released and rooms in jails are made available to accommodate covid-19 patients who need to be quarantined. Instead of being critical to Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadavi should diplomatically lobby to have his dad moved out of the Ranchi Jail (Hospital).
No blame game Sushil Modi ji. In the beginning Delhi CM kejriwal also requested all to stay where they are and not to leave. He was arranging food and shelter for the people but not paying any heed to his request people started moving to their native places.

So much of our public discourse infantilises the average Indian citizen. Someone who lacks a mind of her own, can be swayed by false messaging. Consider the poor people who started streaming out on the highways, bare hours after the national lockdown was decreed. [ As an aside, Singapore has given its citizens four clear days’ notice of the lockdown. ] They knew how much money and food they had, how long they could last if stranded without income in an expensive metro. For that matter, 40% of Americans cannot manage an emergency cost of $ 400 without seeking help. The one grave shortcoming in all of this was that no transport was arranged. Asking people to walk hundreds of kilometres is a new milestone for governance in India.
