Elevation of Samrat Choudhary as BJP state chief & all signs pointing to him being possible CM candidate indicate party is eyeing 2nd major OBC group in Bihar to challenge Grand Alliance.
On Monday, Kushwaha parted ways with Nitish & JD(U) for third time. His exit can pose a major threat to Mahagathbandhan’s caste dynamics in Bihar where election is due in 2025.
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.
Kushwaha says Bihar 'hasn't yet had chance to elect a PM'. But he denies that there's a deal with RJD for Nitish Kumar to move to Parliament in 2024 so Tejashwi Yadav can be CM.
RLSP chief Upendra Kushwaha, former Union minister in Modi govt, becomes JD(U) parliamentary board chief. He says his future will be decided by Nitish Kumar.
Congress' Shaktisinh Gohil says every party has a right to put a leader’s face forward, but we will decide if the alliance benefits from one face, and who that will be.
Jitan Ram Manjhi, Upendra Kushwaha & Mukesh Sahani are still part of RJD-Congress grand alliance, 6 months before polls. But things are looking bleak for them.
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.
