Dular Chand Yadav was found dead in Patna's Mokama last week following a clash between JD(U) and Jan Suraaj supporters. Post-mortem report said cardiorespiratory failure due to shock.
The JDU is contesting 101 seats in Bihar this time, lower than its 2020 quota. Here's what our analysis of the caste background of candidates fielded by it reveals.
Once Congress’s Dalit face in Bihar, JD(U) leader is now Nitish Kumar’s key aide. But he finds himself under constant barrage of attacks by ally BJP and rivals RJD & Jan Suraaj.
Soon after CM announces that every household will get 125 units of power free of cost every month, RJD gives credit to Tejashwi Yadav. But, tug of war goes beyond free electricity.
BJP has lodged police complaint against Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor, accusing him of using Facebook accounts that look like they're operated by BJP functionaries.
It was LJP (RV) that had pushed JD(U) to 3rd position in Bihar as its tally came down from 71 in 2015 to 43 in 2020. But, Chirag, too, has not got the numbers to claim CM's chair.
Bihar's request can play in Centre’s mind as the state heads to polls in October-November. Last year, Opposition had dubbed Budget as ‘kursi bachao’ (cling to power) exercise.
A sound tax system is one based on the ability to pay or economic surplus. But the STT taxes the circulation of capital and not its returns, making it deeply distortionary.
Exporters said the Budget’s proposals to increase duty-free import limits on processing, create 500 reservoirs and support fisheries startups will boost the marine industry.
With recruitments under Agnipath set to rise, the Union Budget has significantly increased spending, with the Army taking nearly 87% of the total outlay.
The key to fighting a war successfully, or even launching it, is a clear objective. That’s an entirely political call. It isn’t emotional or purely military.
