Of the five Lok Sabha constituencies in Bihar that will vote in the second phase on Friday, the most talked about is Purnia in the Seemanchal region where more than sitting MP Santosh Kushwaha of the Janata Dal (United), the Opposition or the BJP, it is three-time MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav who is contesting as an Independent.
In response to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's comment where he taunted Lalu Prasad, whether one person should have so many children, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav replied by saying that this is “not the first time" Kumar has made such remarks and said whatever the CM says “for his family is going to be a blessing for them".
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary is one of the BJP’s tallest OBC leaders in the state. In an interview with The Indian Express, he talks about the Opposition’s criticism of Narendra Modi for his comments on Opposition leaders who “cook mutton during saawan (monsoon)” or “eat fish during Navratri” — the PM’s dig at RJD leader Lalu Prasad, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and Lalu’s son Tejashwi Yadav — the Bihar caste survey, and his criticism of Nitish Kumar in the past.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's recent tweet on social media has gone viral and sparked criticism. The video shows the former Bihar CM eating fish for lunch.The video, which was posted on April 9, coincided with the start of the nine-day fest of Chaitra Navratri. Traditionally, many people observe fasts during this period.
With barely ten days to go for the Lok Sabha polls, Bihar’s Leader of Opposition and ex-deputy chief minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, 34, has stepped up his campaigning. Spearheading the RJD’s charge, Tejashwi has also emerged as the face of the Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) in the crucial battleground state. In an interview withThe Indian Express, Tejashwi speaks on several burning issues, ranging from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s onslaught over corruption and dynasty politics to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s poll pitch, to the Opposition’s challenges. Excerpts:
As Bihar heads for a seven-phase election for the Lok Sabha for the second time running, the Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal has accused the BJP of misusing government institutions to its benefit.
ITS FLURRY of tie-ups and induction of leaders from other parties would eventually have led to the situation the the BJP finds itself facing in Bihar: a problem of plenty. Having signed up with the JD(U), it now has to not just find a way to keep Chirag Paswan and his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) happy, but also his estranged uncle by its side.
DMK leader and former Union Minister A Raja has said India is not a nation in conventional terms with one language, one culture and one tradition. It was not a country, but a subcontinent, he said.
