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.
Chirag's party has accused Paras of ill-treating Ram Vilas Paswan's first wife Rajkumari Devi. This was after Rajkumari accused Paras & two others of locking her out of ancestral house.
Union Minister & LJP (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan also talks about simultaneous polls, besides his party's intention to contest elections in Delhi, Punjab & Uttar Pradesh.
JD(U)'s KC Tyagi says religious matters should not be interfered with. Will you ban sacrifice at Kamakhya temple too, asks LJP’s Delhi chief Raju Tiwari in question directed at Himanta.
Congress has fielded Sunny Hazari, while Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) is backing Shambhavi Kunal Choudhary. Both candidates are son & daughter of JD(U) ministers.
Shambhavi Choudhary is likely to face another JD (U) minister’s son Sunny Hazari, who joined Congress, from the Samastipur seat. Congress is yet to announce its candidate.
Both uncle and nephew are bent on contesting from Hajipur in 2024. BJP has been trying to bring them together ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha polls especially with JD(U) out of NDA fold.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
