In an interview with ThePrint, the BJP MP from Patliputra, talks about his prospects in the coming polls against Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Misa Bharti.
Former deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, while releasing RJD’s ‘Parivartan Patra’, said the party is making 24 'jan vachan' (public promises) for polls and will fulfill these commitments.
Congress leaders have alleged that RJD has dumped ‘unwinnable’ seats on the party while denying it constituencies where it could have better prospects. Party has been allocated 9 seats.
In letter dated 16 Feb, additional secretary ordered review of decisions taken by Tejashwi Yadav & 2 RJD leaders who were ministers in Mahagathbandhan govt led by Nitish Kumar.
From changing party’s perception & convincing Tejashwi to go all out with promise of 10 lakh govt jobs, Sanjay Yadav has over the years risen to position of number 2 within the RJD.
The alleged scam dates back to when Lalu Yadav was Union Railways Minister between 2004 and 2009. Apart from Yadav, the chargesheet also includes the name of the then railways general manager.
Samrat Choudhary & Vijay Kumar Sinha, sworn in as deputy CMs, have been critical of Nitish in the past. BJP's third pick, Prem Kumar, too, had been dumped from NDA cabinet after 2020 polls.
As suspense over Nitish's next move continues, his current ally RJD & other Bihar parties hold urgent meetings. Once called 'Paltu Ram' by Lalu, he has a long history of making U-turns.
The issue of inequality has assumed the blazing limelight at a time when inequality in India is said to be higher than it was in the British Raj. It's a ripe situation for half-truths and incendiary statements.
Speaking at launch of economist Surjit Bhalla’s book, S Jaishankar also highlights Gen Z’s engagement with ‘reel culture’, which has 'promoted awareness, created interest in many subjects'.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
