Bihar

"I have already asked the CBI about why it is bothering to conduct raids on our house every month. I also offered to open an office inside our residence. They are coming to Patna and spending the money of taxpayers. We always cooperate with the central agency but they have not found any proof of it," Tejashwi Yadav said.

These two leaders have shown an interest towards the Bharatiya Janata Party, but no one could say that it is a saffron surgical strike on the JD-U. The JD-U leaders denied any impact of the rebellions on the party but there is a perception in the political corridors of Bihar that Nitish Kumar is losing control over his party JD-U.

Nitish visited the statue of famous writer Phanishwar Nath Renu in Patna and said that he has directed the State Chief Secretary and Bihar DGP to send a team to observe the ground situation in Tamil Nadu. Bihari labourers were brutally assaulted by local Tamilians for the last 15 days. Many of the labourers returned home and complained about the brutality in Tamil Nadu.

He had earlier said that "Jo Piyega Wo Marega" after the Saran liquor tragedy, that claimed more than 100 lives and blinded many others, in the first week of January. Participating in the debate on the motion of thanks on the the Governor's speech during the third day of the Budget session, Nitish Kumar said that the opposition leaders are saying that people are dying due to the consumption of poisonous liquor.

During police investigation, it came to the fore that three bike-borne assailants recently opened fire on protesters in Muzaffarpur in which a youth identified as Rahul Kumar died. Three persons arrested in this connection are said to have links with Mansoori. Rahul's family and other protesters have alleged that the firing was done on Mansoori's direction.

"The party has already taken his clarification for attacking Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Still, he is repeatedly attacking him. It indicates that he was guided by BJP and RSS and playing on their pitch. The matter is in the cognisance of party's national President Lalu Prasad Yadav and he has asked national General Secretary Abdul Bari Siddiqui to look after it," Tejashwi Yadav said.

"We are Biharis and don't think of us as fools (Ham Log Bihari Hai, Hamko Burbak Mat Samjhiye)," Tejashwi said while taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the promises he had made before the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. It was a show of strength for the Mahagathbandhan on Saturday as each and every MLA, MP and minister were present at the rally.

"We have formed the Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah came from Delhi and said many things. One of them (Amit Shah) said here in Purnea today that the airport is almost completed. Where is the airport. The Bihar government has acquired land and handed over to the Centre, why the airport was not constructed.

Nitish Kumar was the chief guest at an event organised by Bihar agriculture ministry to discuss the implementation of fourth agriculture road map in Bapu Sabhagar. When the farmer was presenting his suggestions from the dais, the Chief Minister interrupted him and said: "What happened to you ... you are using English words in your speech.

"I had claimed the chief ministerial post for my son Santosh Kumar Suman and I am sticking to that demand. I also maintain that he will become a better CM than any other leaders in Bihar. But the decision of Nitish Kumar is final and I am with him," Manjhi said during the Garib Sampark Yatra in Jahanabad.
