Just a few days into his tenure as UP Cabinet Minister, Om Prakash Rajbhar is back to making comments that have left several leaders in the ruling BJP uncomfortable.

Amid reports of bickering in Maharashtra among the ruling NDA partners over seat-sharing besides internal differences within the BJP, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will arrive in the state Tuesday in a bid to resolve these issues, especially those related to Vidarbha, Marathwada and North Maharashtra.
Four months after losing power to the Congress, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana is facing discontent within its ranks. Over the last week, two sitting BRS MPs joined the BJP allegedly because of uncertainty over getting a ticket again.
