With assembly polls due in 2025 & RJD clamouring for larger role for Tejashwi in Bihar, BJP's decision may make Nitish vulnerable to pressures from his ally.
There's rising speculation of Upendra Kushwaha ‘being in touch’ with BJP, but if Bihar CM Nitish Kumar expels him, JD(U) runs the risk of alienating its Kurmi and Kushwaha votebank.
JD(U), fearing its core voters are shifting to BJP, has demanded a Sita temple in Sitamarhi and hailed Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s 'Har Ghar Gangajal' project as a ‘Bhagirathi’ effort.
Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who snapped ties with the BJP & joined the seven-party opposition 'Mahagathbandhan', made the remark in reply to a query from journalists in Patna.
Deputy CM & RJD leader Tejashwi Singh issued a guideline to party ministers on acceptable behaviour. The list includes not letting supporters touch their feet & being transparent in work.
Speculation about his fate had been rife, especially given that the Rajya Sabha numbers have become a little more evenly stacked ever since Nitish Kumar's exit from the NDA.
BJP hits out at ‘Paltu Ram’ Nitish Kumar as Bihar NDA govt collapses, claims it was BJP that elevated former CM ‘to political heights, made him Union minister, chief minister’.
The claim that VB-GRAMG provides an employment guarantee is incorrect. The only guarantee is to 'empower' the Centre to allow partial implementation in notified areas alone.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
