Nitish Kumar

Jan Suraaj' campaign convenor Prashant Kishor on Thursday sought to puncture his former mentor Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's claims of having given a face-lift to the state's roads.

The tension in Bihar's ruling alliance flared up again today with state BJP chief Sanjay Jaiswal's disparaging remarks towards Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United.

Bihar 'Agnipath' Protests: A BJP MLA alleged that "Jihadis" opposed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi were behind the violence and arson that took place in Bihar during protests against 'Agnipath'.

BJP's anger is fuelled by the fact that following Nitish Kumar's silence on the issue, a section of Janata Dal-United party leaders fuelled protests in the state that led to violent attacks on the Centre's installations like railways.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday expressed grief over the death of 17 persons in lightning and thunderstorm related incidents in the state.

Nitish Kumar, now serving his fifth term as Chief Minister of Bihar, has kept a deliberate silence over the past four days as Bihar burns and faces the main brunt of the anti-Agnipath stir.

Election strategist Prashant Kishor has waded into the controversy surrounding the new military recruitment scheme 'Agnipath', especially the violent protests in Bihar, where the BJP and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) are in power.

Bihar has seen the worst spate of violence among states with protesters setting trains on fire, vandalising stations and attacking BJP leaders offices, homes and cars.

Bihar's BJP chief, whose home was vandalised by 'Agnipath' protesters, has criticised the state government over what he called inadequate efforts to stop violent protests in the state.

Defending the recruitment scheme, Renu Devi said people start looking for jobs at 23-24, "whereas we are even taking in those aged 17-and-a-half years"

Union minister RCP Singh, who was recently denied another term in the Rajya Sabha by the JD(U) he formerly headed, should "heed the message" and resign from the cabinet, a key political aide of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has said.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(U) on Tuesday expelled a number of its office bearers, including its popular spokesman Ajay Alok for "misleading" party functionaries and running a "parallel agenda".

Presidential Elections 2022: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday categorically said he is not in the race in the July presidential election. "I repeat I am not in the race to become the country's next President," Nitish Kumar said.

Condemning the June 10 violence in parts of the country over the controversial remarks against Prophet Mohammad by BJP members, who were later suspended by the party, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar wondered why was an issue being created.

Most of the historians in India have given prominence to recording the history of Mughals only, ignoring the glorious rules of many empires like Pandyas, Cholas, Mauryas, Guptas and Ahoms, Mr Shah had said at a recent book launch.
