Bihar

While the animated video did not take the names of the political leaders but in the video ‘Chara Chor’ is seen on the photograph of Ravan and Lalu Prasad Yadav was convicted in the fodder scam. Another name shown in the video is ‘Paltimar’ on the photograph of Kumbhkarn.

In Bihar, the politics of Iftar is not a new phenomenon. The leaders of the RJD and JD(U) have been hosting Iftar parties during the month of Ramadan. On the other hand, several BJP leaders organised fruit fasting parties during Navratri.

Terming his Principal Secretary Dipak Kumar as the Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar immediately corrected himself and said that he was the former Chief Secretary of Bihar and not the Chief Minister. Moreover, he was carrying the written speech in AIIMS Patna convocation ceremony, but still he used colloquial words.

This will be the second rally of BJP in the last two months in the state and 6th rally since the formation of Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar.

The copy of the letter has been sent to every government office, including Chief secretary, all Additional Chief Secretaries, DGP, IPS officers and Vice-Chancellors of the universities of Bihar. Earlier, the Governor of Bihar is being said as "His Excellency". 

It all began when he absent-mindedly called the Bihar Chief Secretary Amir Subhani “chief Mukhya Mantri” while addressing the gathering at an event of the Panchayati Raj Department in Patna. When the officials present there pointed out the error, Nitish Kumar corrected himself but ended up calling himself “Faltu Mukhya Mantri.”

Amid opposition from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA)'s to the caste-based survey, Nitish Kumar's decision to publish the survey may have been the checkmate move of the opposition INDIA bloc against the NDA ahead of the 2024 polls.

"During the survey, no one has asked me my caste. It may be a personal thing but it could happen with others too. A case regarding the caste census was underway in court but the state government informed it that the survey is completed. The state government, thinking that the matter may go to the court again, has published the report in a hurry," he said.

The caste-based survey was passed in both Houses of the Bihar Vidhan Mandal last year and every political party gave consent for it.

Singh, a former IAS officer, contested the Lok Sabha poll for the first time in 2014 and became the Union Power Minister.
