In Episode 615 of ‘Cut the Clutter’, ThePrint’s editor-in-chief Shekhar Gupta elaborates on some of the key political takeaways from the Bihar election results.
But for a poor show from the Congress, Tejashwi would’ve achieved his CM ambitions. It’s redemption for a politician whose credentials were questioned just last year.
In 2015, Tej Pratap Yadav had won from Mahua. He chose Hasanpur this time after rumours that JD(U) could field his estranged wife Aishwarya Rai from Mahua.
A majority of the exit polls Saturday had projected win for RJD-led Grand Alliance and Tejashwi Yadav as next CM, though some said NDA would give a tough fight.
Bihar braces for election results today as a buoyant oppn, led by Tejashwi Yadav, and a hopeful NDA under CM Nitish will look to cross majority mark of 122 in 243-member assembly.
Both BJP-JD(U) and the RJD-led alliances have campaigned aggressively in the state that is going to third and last phase of the assembly polls Saturday.
Continuing his attack on Nitish Kumar, LJP chief Chirag Paswan said despite having a double engine govt, the Bihar CM couldn't deliver on the promises made to the public.
The Italian term sprezzatura—a studied nonchalance that conceals intention—best captures the spirit of Trump’s foreign policy so far. The pattern is unpredictability, transactionalism, and disruption as diplomacy.
With 20.2 percent of its total loans in default by the end of last year, Bangladesh had the weakest banking system in Asia. Despite reforms, it will take time to recover.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
BJP has passed on all negative action on JDU, voters instead of punishing BJP punished Nitish and his party for lockdown related problems. BJP in that process spoiled JDU and Nitish Kumar’s chance retaining their voters who either shifted to BJP or RJD, LJP was proped up and used to attack JDU even though they were sharing power with BJP who are equally responsible for bad governance. We should not be surprised L from LJP may be replaced with B either upon acquisition or merger as Chirag’s party has no use of its existence in Bihar. As for as confrontation with China, I just want to ask Shekarji, if Congress has mishandled this, will BJP would have spared Congress? They would have been much harsher and used the issue in political stage. Thr voters in India don’t think while voting, it’s herd immunity.
