Manish Kumar And Suparna Singh

As the government announced that the special status for Kashmir has been done away with, several parties in parliament which are not part of the ruling BJP's coalition commended the move. Jagan Mohan Reddy's party, for example; and Mayawati's.

Tejashwi Yadav, the 29-year-old who is leading the main opposition party in Bihar, was summoned to the hospital in Ranchi today where his father, Lalu Yadav, is being treated for heart and other conditions.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar buried the lead at a party meeting he held on the weekend. At the end of the session with senior leaders of his Janata Dal United or JD(U), Mr Kumar, 66, asked casually, "What happens to the party if I die?"

For the first time since he resurrected his relationship with the BJP, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is in Delhi. Tomorrow, he will attend the oath-taking ceremony of Venkaiah Naidu as India's 13th Vice President. His aides said that he has sought an appointment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi - if that is sanctioned, it will be their first m...

For the approaching election of Vice President, Nitish Kumar will stick to his new pattern of supporting the candidate of the team he is not playing for. In this case, Gopalkrishna Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi's grandson, who is the nominee of the opposition and not the BJP, with whom Mr Kumar runs his government in Bihar as of last week.

Nitish Kumar's list of exes is growing- along with the Congress and Lalu Yadav who are now a part of his past, top aide Prashant Kishor is being cut looses. Sources close to the young election strategist and Nitish Kumar say the separation is mutual, without rancour, and in acceptance of the fact that the new political landscape requires Prashant K...

Barely 10 minutes before he submitted his resignation, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar phoned Lalu Yadav who lives just next door in Patna.

Nitish Kumar has quit as Chief Minister of Bihar, ending the two-year-long political experiment that was branded as a game-changing Mahagathbandhan or Grand Alliance which included his party, Lalu Yadav and the Congress. This evening, Mr Kumar met with Bihar Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi to deliver his resignation. Tomorrow, he will take oath as C...

The fortune of the alliance between Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav in Bihar is likely to be decided today as both leaders hold separate meetings with their legislators on the same agenda: whether Lalu Yadav's son, Tejashwi, should quit as Deputy Chief Minister because of corruption charges.

Lalu Yadav has sought an extension of the 72-hour deadline set by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to rescue their alliance from collapse, said sources. On Tuesday, Mr Kumar, 66, set the timer after publicly declaring he would not tolerate corruption in his administration. Privately, he reportedly conveyed that the window would close tomorrow (Sat...

At age 66, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is keen to reinvent himself - so keen that he is willing to discard his burning ambition to someday run for Prime Minister. This job opportunity, he had come to accept, would - if at all - present itself only if he remained a senior member of the opposition and took on the BJP. It's no longer worth it, h...

There are flashing lights all around the alliance between Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav in Bihar with a 72-hour deadline reportedly set to determine the government's future.

Bihar's ruling alliance appears to be well on its way to imploding with its main stakeholders - Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav - setting conditions for each other that are impossible to meet.

As Lalu Yadav and Nitish Kumar, the two main partners in Bihar, try to bridge a widening gap, rival BJP has made it clear that it's willing to do its bit. "If Nitish Kumar pulls out of the alliance, we will not be a part of the government, but we can offer outside support," said local BJP leader Nityanand Rai, adding that "it all depends on the cen...

Nitish Kumar will today at 1 pm deliver a speech that could redefine the anatomy of his government in Bihar. For the first time, the Chief Minister, 66, will comment on the raids against his political partner (and neighbour) Lalu Yadav, whose son, Tejashwi Yadav, is the second lead in the government and has been accused of corruption by the CBI.
