Mahagathbandhan seat sharing in Bihar by August

July 6, 2025, 3:41 am

Top sources in the Grand Alliance said they have already held multiple rounds of detailed discussions on the seat-sharing formula for Bihar.

NEW DELHI: Even as the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) holds talks to finalise seat sharing, with all parties trying to secure maximum seats, sources revealed that the seat-sharing formula will be finalised by the first week of August, days before the poll panel announces the election schedule for the 243-member Bihar Assembly.

Top sources in the Grand Alliance said they have already held multiple rounds of detailed discussions on the seat-sharing formula for Bihar.

“In the coming days, or by the first week of August, our seat-sharing deal will be finalised,” the source claimed.

When asked about Congress appointing 58 observers in the state, fuelling speculation that it might contest on 58 seats compared to 70 seats in the last Assembly polls, the source clarified that earlier, the grand old party had appointed almost 15 observers in Bihar.

“Thus, 58 observers were added to strengthen the organisation in the state, where it felt more work was needed,” he said.

Regarding AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi writing to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav to join the Mahagatbandhan in Bihar, the source said Owaisi tried to signal to his voters that he wanted to be part of the Grand Alliance despite knowing that he would not be accommodated in it.

He also pointed out that Mahagatbandhan leaders are preparing to launch an aggressive campaign in Bihar on multiple issues.

He said that the I.N.D.I.A bloc partners in Bihar will carry out a massive protest in the form of a ‘chakka jam’ (roadblock) on July 9.

The source further said the July 9 protest is planned over the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls in Bihar, and that more such protests will be held across the state.

He highlighted several issues including the Waqf Amendment Act, unemployment, education, health, and the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.

He also mentioned that they are looking forward to Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi’s programme to kick off the Congress campaign from Western Bihar’s Sasaram region.

The source revealed that Congress is also conducting a survey of the party’s MLAs in the state, with indications that some sitting MLAs might be dropped.

The Congress source said the party leadership is unhappy with the way Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s programme failed to attract a crowd in Buxar district.

He claimed that Gandhi is highly displeased at the poor turnout at Kharge’s programme in Buxar.

The source further revealed that the issue of caste census will also play an important role in the Bihar Assembly polls, along with the Commission’s decision to carry out the SIR of voter rolls in the state. The election for the 243-member Bihar Assembly is scheduled to take place later this year. The RJD, Congress, and Left Parties’ Mahagatbandhan are looking to wrest power from the NDA, comprising Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal United, the BJP, LJP Ram Vilas, and the Jitan Ram Manjhi-led HAM-S.

ECI: 1.5 crore houses covered under Bihar voter list revision

July 5, 2025, 12:37 am

The Election Commission of India on Friday claimed that the first visit of the Booth Level Officers (BLOs) to nearly 1.5 crore households in Bihar has been completed on Friday. It further said that over 87 per cent of enumeration forms, out of the total of nearly 7.90 crore electors who are enrolled as on June 24, 2025, have been distributed during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise being conducted in the state.

The Commission also stated that the remaining houses could be locked, or of dead electors, or of migrants or of those who may be travelling. “Since, the BLO shall be visiting three times to the houses of the electors during the exercise, these figures are likely to increase further,” it said. It said partially filled forms are also available for down- load on the ECI portal as well on ECINET App and the filled forms can be uploaded by the elector himself on ECINET App. Besides, 1,54,977 Booth Level Agents (BLAs) appointed by various political parties are also providing active support in the SIR process. It stated that as on July 2, BJP has appointed 52,689 BLAs, followed by 47,504 of RJD, 34,669 of JD(U), 16,500 of INC, 1,913 of Rashtriya Lok Jan Shakti Party, 1,271 of CPI(ML)L, 1,153 of Lok Jan Shakti Party (Ram Vilas), 578 of CPI(M), 270 of Rashtriya Lok Samta Party besides others such as BSP (74), NPP (3) and AAAP (1).

Each BLA can submit up to 50 certified forms per day. “Nearly five percent filledup and signed forms i.e. nearly 38 lakh forms have already been received by the BLOs who are working sincerely with the sole motto – Inclusion First, which has been repeatedly emphasized upon by the Commission,” it said. It also said that as per SIR, in order to get one’s name in the Draft Electoral Roll to be published on August 1, 2025, the strict condition for an elector is to sign and submit the pre-printed Enumeration Form before July 25, 2025. “Simultaneous verification of the uploaded forms has also been started,” it said, adding that “despite apprehensions by some quarters, SIR will ensure that all eligible persons will be included”. It also pointed out that based on the documents attached or not attached, with the signed Enumeration Form, “eligibility verification of each name included in the draft rolls will be done continuously after their receipt”. “Verification will start vigorously from August 2, 2025 onwards after publication of Draft Electoral Rolls.

On the basis of the published Draft of Electoral Rolls, Claims and Objections will be received from any political parties or any member of public August 2, 2025 onwards,” it said. It also said that the final electoral rolls will be published on September 30, 2025 and appeals can also be filed thereafter with the DM and the CEO. The poll panel has issued instructions to carry out a SIR in Bihar to weed out ineligible names and ensure all eligible citizens are included in the electoral roll, allowing them to exercise their franchise in the polls slated later this year.

AAP’s solo Bihar poll plan jolts I.N.D.I.A bloc unity

June 22, 2025, 2:35 am

AAP’s foray into the race further complicates the already fractured opposition landscape.

NEW DELHI: The Mahagathbandhan, the state-level version of the I.N.D.I.A bloc in Bihar, has suffered yet another jolt, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) signalling its intent to contest the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections independently.

This follows a similar setback caused by the exit of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) from the I.N.D.I.A bloc, further exposing fault lines within the opposition coalition. Political experts point out that while the AAP currently lacks a strong voter base in Bihar, its decision to enter the electoral battlefield alone could cause more harm to the Mahagathbandhan than to the NDA.

Analysts suggest that by contesting independently, AAP may end up splitting the anti-NDA vote, indirectly aiding the BJP-JDU alliance’s prospects. Notably, the Bihar Assembly elections, scheduled for October–November 2025, are poised to be a high-stakes and pivotal contest between the ruling NDA and the Mahagathbandhan.

As the BJP-JDU coalition appears to be consolidating its base and gaining momentum, the opposition alliance is increasingly struggling with internal discord and growing challenges posed by rising political players such as AAP, Jan Suraaj, and AIMIM. These dynamics are transforming the electoral scene into a far more competitive and consequential one for both Bihar and the national political narrative.

AAP’s foray into the race further complicates the already fractured opposition landscape in the state. Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party has already announced its participation, which may undermine the traditional caste- and community-based vote banks of established parties.

Similarly, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen (AIMIM), led by Asaduddin Owaisi, has declared it will contest more seats than it did in 2020—when it secured five Assembly seats for the first time—raising the stakes even higher. AAP’s move to contest the Bihar elections solo has surprised many, given its past failures in the state and history of backing out after initial announcements.

Unlike in previous years, the party now seems firm on contesting, hoping to leverage its Delhi governance record and reconnect with the Purvanchali migrant voters who once backed Kejriwal but have since drifted away. According to political analyst Aditya Rathi, AAP’s entry has undoubtedly added a new dimension to the electoral atmosphere.

However, he cautioned that Bihar’s deeply rooted caste equations and regional loyalties pose significant obstacles for any new entrant. “AAP is clearly trying to win over migrant voters from Bihar who are familiar with its performance in Delhi. But the political landscape in Bihar is far more nuanced and complex,” Rathi noted. He warned that the increasing number of political participants could turn the 2025 elections into a multi-cornered contest, which may ultimately favour the BJP by diffusing the opposition vote. “New formations could still emerge ahead of the elections, but this fragmentation may weaken, rather than strengthen, the I.N.D.I.A bloc,” he concluded.

Earlier this week, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh publicly confirmed the party’s intent to contest all 243 Assembly seats in Bihar. “AAP is fully prepared to contest strongly in the upcoming elections. While seat-sharing discussions are not off the table, any such decision will rest with our central leadership following consultations with the Bihar unit,” Singh said—indicating that while the door to coordination remains slightly ajar, the party is largely committed to its solo strategy

Indian Locomotives Set To Run On West African Tracks, This State Is Making Them

June 19, 2025, 3:22 pm

New Delhi/Patna, June 18: Madhepura in Bihar’s Chapra district, once an integral node in India’s freedom movement, is now spearheading a new era of industrial resurgence. On June 20, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off a consignment of state-of-the-art diesel locomotives, manufactured at the Madhepura plant, destined for the West African nation of Guinea.

The Madhepura factory is not just fulfilling domestic railway modernization; it is also supporting India’s ambitions to become a reliable partner in South-South cooperation. The recent deal with Guinea, titled “Project KOMO”, involves the export of 140 diesel engines, valued at around Rs. 3,000 crores.
This moment marks a historic milestone for the first time, a manufacturing unit based in Bihar is exporting heavy locomotive engines to the global market, firmly placing India on the map as a global railway manufacturing hub.

The Wabtec Diesel Locomotive Factory, a joint venture between Wabtec (76%) and Indian Railways (24%), has already produced 729 high-horsepower diesel engines since its inception in 2018, including 545 units of 4500 HP and 184 units of 6000 HP. Now, with increasing global demand, this facility is fast becoming a beacon of India’s export-led manufacturing future.

This achievement echoes the vision of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’, translating policy into tangible, global impact. With the slogan ‘Make in Bihar: Make for the World’, Madhepura is transforming from a small town to a symbol of India’s manufacturing capability.

As India strengthens its role in global manufacturing and expands its partnerships with developing economies, Bihar’s Madhepura has emerged as a noteworthy example of industrial progress, and regional transformation.

This milestone stands as a testament to the shared vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, a vision that places Bihar not on the sidelines, but at the center of India’s industrial growth story.

Bihar: 3 Family Members Shot Dead Over Sand Dispute In Buxar

May 24, 2025, 12:23 pm

A violent land and sand-related conflict turned fatal in Bihar’s Buxar district on Saturday morning, as three members of a family were shot dead in Ahiyapur village under Rajpur police station limits. Two others suffered critical injuries in the gunfire.

According to police, the incident took place around 5:15 am and stemmed from a long-standing dispute between two parties over gravel and sand. Armed attackers reportedly opened fire, killing two individuals instantly, while another succumbed to injuries during treatment at a medical facility.

Superintendent of Police Shubham Arya said, “The incident happened at around 5:15 am. In this matter between the two parties, 2 people died on the spot, while 1 died during medical treatment.”

Law enforcement officials have begun an investigation to determine the exact cause of the violence and identify those responsible. Further details are awaited.

Bihar Groom Delays Wedding for 2 Hours to Join Mock Drill

May 8, 2025, 4:51 pm

In an excellent display of nationalism, a bridegroom from Bihar’s Purnia district delayed his wedding celebrations by more than two hours to participate in a mock drill at the state level for exercising civil defense with rising tensions at the borders with Pakistan.

Sushant Kushwaha, the groom in question, was to take his baraat to Araria, some 40 km away, at 6 pm on Wednesday. But he decided to delay and attend a civil defence exercise first, leaving his family and wedding party waiting till 8 pm.

It is my wedding day today but that is not the only reason that I feel so elated. Today, the Indian Army crossed over into Pakistan and made missile attacks on their terror camps. It is a moment of pride that I get to be part of this drill,” Kushwaha said to NDTV.

The groom had already given his family a day’s notice that he was going to take part in the drill, after learning his district was one of the 244 in India chosen for the Operation Abhyaas readiness exercise.

Following his completion of the drill, Kushwaha went home and afterwards continued with his wedding ritual.

Emphasizing his sense of responsibility, he went on to say, “Soldiers tend to leave their wedding location to head out and fight on the frontiers. If the need is, we too will do so.”

The mass-scale exercises, conducted on May 7 under the Ministry of Home Affairs’ leadership, practiced air raids, fire fighting, and rescue missions. They coincided with India’s military response under Operation Sindoor, after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians.

Pankha off, Love on: Bihar Woman Falls for Electrician, Ends Up Married

April 9, 2025, 4:36 pm

They say that love can come when you are not even looking, and that is what exactly happened in a Bihar village. A woman married a repair man of ceiling fans after a series of informal visits developed into a full-fledged romance.

Here’s the full love story:

Speaking to Khabar Express in an interview, the technician elaborated on how it began. “Pankha kharab tha toh gaon mein toh koi bhi bula hi leta hai. Inhone phone kara mujhe aur bulaya humko,” he said. The fan was not working, and like everyone else in the village, she called someone over from near her.

After he had repaired the fan, the woman requested his number and said she would call him straight away next time it broke. What had started out as just a brief encounter turned into regular visits, and soon, there was a stronger bond.

Breaking her silence about her emotions, the lady told, “Inke bina humara mann nahi lagta tha thoda bhi. Inse pyaar ho gaya tha bohot zyada.” She revealed that she had feelings for him right from the start but never revealed them to him. When she realized he was not paying her much attention, she smartly kept finding reasons to call him, sometimes for the fan, sometimes for the light or dish TV.

As they visited each other, so did they become closer. Over time, the two of them chose to marry, cementing their unusual love tale.

The story of the couple was posted on X (previously Twitter) in a video with the sarcastic caption: “Leave beginners, Bihar is not for legends even. Pankha theek karte karte pyaar ho gaya, shaadi kar li.”

Watch:

Leave beginners Bihar is not for legends even ?

“Pankha theek karte karte pyaar ho gaya , shadi kar li??” pic.twitter.com/KgAYVS0GYT

Social media users were quick to respond with love and humor. “Both are so cute,” said one user, while another one cracked, “Looks like her fan.” Another cracked, “Bihar is living in 2050.”

Interestingly, this is not the first time a non-traditional love story captured the internet’s attention. Another such story from China was trending on the internet after a man accidentally ran over a woman. While she was recovering, he nursed her, and three weeks later, she revealed that she had fallen in love with him. The two eventually got married.

Rahul’s Bihar visit intensifies politics, focus shifts to Ahmedabad meeting

April 7, 2025, 11:24 pm

The visit of Congress supreme leader Rahul Gandhi has created stir in Bihar politics. While Congress continues to assert that it will contest elections with its allies in Bihar, the situation appears to be shifting. There are signs that the party may discuss potential alliances in the upcoming Congress meeting in Ahmedabad, with some Bihar leaders even suggesting an ‘Ekla Chalo’ (go it alone) strategy.

With elections scheduled for November this year, Congress is placing its trust in its youthful leaders, Kanhaiya Kumar and state in-charge Krishna Alavaru. Both have been leading the ‘Palayan Roko, Naukri Do’ (Stop Migration, Give Jobs), largely sidelining their allies. Rahul Gandhi also joined the Yatra in Begusarai on Monday, and the event was marked by an enthusiastic crowd, signaling potential success. Congress workers are energized by this show of strength, leading to a growing sense that the party may go solo in the state.

This shift towards independent politics has caused concern among allies, particularly the RJD, which fears that Congress may again push for more seats, as it did in the last election. Congress state leaders are demanding more than 70 seats, mirroring the demands of the previous election, while the VIP party, another key ally in the Mahagathbandhan, has asked for 60 seats. These escalating seat demands are straining relations within the alliance.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has remained silent on the matter, but party spokespersons have made it clear that they are unwilling to concede additional seats to Congress. The RJD’s difficulties are compounded by the fact that they lost power in the previous election due to Congress’s demands.

As the political landscape in Bihar intensifies, Congress’s youth faction is preparing to go it alone. All eyes will be on the AICC meeting in Ahmedabad to see how the party addresses these issues regarding Bihar’s electoral strategy.

Bihar’s Rs. 40 Lakh Clock Tower Stops Working in a Day

April 7, 2025, 7:19 pm

A clock tower newly built in Bihar Sharif generated widespread debate on the internet after reports stated that it broke down just a day after its launch. The tower, reportedly built at a cost of ₹40 lakh, was allegedly hurried into operation during Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Pragati Yatra, as per a report by Dainik Bhaskar. It reportedly went out of order the next day itself due to copper wire theft.

The accident soon went viral on social media, with people not only criticizing its look but also its price tag. A picture of the clock tower posted on X elicited sarcastic comments, with one user writing, “This shabbily painted, poorly finished, concrete clock tower in Bihar Sharif, constructed under the ‘Smart City’ project, had its clock malfunction within 24 hours of its inauguration. Guess the cost of production? Just Rs. 40 lakh! Just 40 lakhs for this architectural wonder! Hats off!”

Social Media Reactions

Others joined in with ridicule and criticism. One user joked, “The building resembles a metro pillar rather than the clock tower.” Another questioned the supposed wasteful expenditure, writing, “Yeh clock tower nahin corruption tower hain.”

A user commented sarcastically, “Seriously, where did all that money go? The design looks so basic too!” In contrast, someone wrote, “This is not a clock tower, this is a tribute to taxpayers’ money,” and another joked, “I have never seen a more beautiful architectural wonder in my entire life.” As online criticism mounted, local officials took umbrage with the accusations.

‘Not Yet Inaugurated’

Bihar Sharif Municipal Commissioner Deepak Kumar Mishra denied the reports, stating to The Indian Express that the clock tower is ‘not yet inaugurated because the project is still in progress’. He made it clear that though the clock was temporarily put on during the Chief Minister’s visit, a few days later it stopped running after ‘certain people pilfered a cable, rendering it useless’. He further added that reinstallation needs to be done.

Mishra also challenged the figure of Rs. 40 lakh reported. In his words, “the structure is estimated at ₹20 lakh, not Rs. 40 lakh as some viral posts have implied.” He further clarified that the tower is part of the Nala Road Project, which was meant to connect Machli Mandi to Mughal Kuan.

Throwing light on the timeline, Mishra said that work started three years back but was delayed because of encroachment clearance. He further said, “The clock tower construction will be done along with the rest of the project.”

Speaking to ANI, Congress leader Kaukab Quadri said, “Nothing can be sadder than this. We cannot think that such a young boy, who has grown in front of us, took such a decision.” He further said, “Last night, he was in a function and I don’t know what went wrong.”

Shakeel Ahmad Khan, born on January 1, 1965, is a prominent figure in Bihar politics, serving as a member of the 16th Bihar Legislative Assembly and as National Secretary of the Indian National Congress. His political career began in 2015 when he was first elected as the MLA from the Kadwa assembly seat in Katihar district, defeating Chandra Bhushan Thakur from the Bhartiya Janata Party.

Fake Rs. 500 Notes Circulating in Bihar; Here’s How to Spot Them

January 11, 2025, 12:47 pm

It was easier to identify fake currency as Mahatma Gandhi’s image and paper quality were the first indicators. However, the counterfeiters have become more skilled and have been producing notes that are becoming more and more indistinguishable from the real currency. This has contributed to the rise in the circulation of fake currency, especially in Bihar.

Bihar Police Headquarters has alerted people about counterfeit currency in the state and also started an awareness campaign to inform the public how to identify a fake note. It has also issued a letter to all the District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police on the ways to identify the fake currency.

Smuggling has unintentionally exposed its operation by a simple spelling mistake on the counterfeits used in Bihar. The Inspector General of Police issued a letter to District Magistrates, Senior Superintendents of Police, Superintendents of Police, and Railway SPs with news of a golden nugget: that the color of fake notes is spelling “Resarve Bank of India” while it should be “Reserve Bank of India.”

Despite how sophisticated the counterfeiters get, there is always a way to identify the fake notes. Another thing that can point out a fake note is its texture; it will certainly feel different from the authentic one. The printing of the fake notes may also look a bit faded. Some apps have become available to help identify fake currency.

Viral Videos Raise Concerns Over Animal Abuse

The videos, depicting the brutal treatment of the dog, have raised serious concerns about the growing trend of using animals for viral stunts. In one instance, Alam is shown repeatedly kicking the dog while it is tied to a tree, while in another, he swings the animal from a tree branch by its leash. The distressing images of the helpless dog have angered online users, many of whom have called for strict legal action against Alam. Despite being uploaded as “stunts” for online attention, these clips have instead sparked a conversation about the urgent need to curb animal abuse.

Activists Demand Action and Accountability

Animal activist Tarun Agarwal was among the first to report the incident on social media, tagging local authorities to urge immediate action. He described Alam’s actions as “barbaric” and called for punishment. Mumbai-based police officer and animal rescuer Sudhir Kudalkar also condemned the incident, noting how some individuals exploit their pets in pursuit of online fame. Kudalkar’s repost of the video emphasised the distress caused to the animal for a fleeting moment of fame.

Public Outcry and Calls for Justice

The viral nature of the videos has led to a surge of reactions from internet users. Many are demanding justice for the dog and the immediate arrest of Alam. One user wrote, “CATCH HIM SIRRRRRR! Hit him like this onlyyy,” while another expressed horror, stating, “Punish him… I am just scared of thinking what may have happened behind the camera. So many incidents like this must have been happening that we don’t even know. Strict action is needed.”

The Need for Stronger Regulations Against Animal Cruelty

As the videos continue to circulate, animal rights advocates are calling for stricter laws and regulations to prevent such incidents from recurring. The demand for swift legal action against Alam has intensified, with online users and animal activists joining forces to ensure the safety and welfare of animals used for social media stunts.

The viral videos of Mohammad Alam’s cruel behaviour toward a dog have highlighted the pressing need for more awareness and stronger laws against animal cruelty. As the online community rallies for justice, the hope is to prevent future incidents of such abuse and ensure that those responsible face appropriate consequences for their actions. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the responsibility we have in treating animals with dignity and respect.

December 26, 2024, 12:04 pm

Independent MP from Purnea, Rajesh Ranjan, popularly known as Pappu Yadav, has intensified his campaign against the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC). He has called for a statewide bandh on January 1, 2025, if the 70th Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination (CCE Prelims) is not canceled.

Allegations of Irregularities

VIDEO | Bihar: “I want an investigation in the matter from the High Court bench. If the government won’t cancel the BPSC exam then we will do ‘Bihar Bandh’ on January 1,” says Independent MP Pappu Yadav on BPSC exams, during a press conference in Purnea.

The protests erupted following allegations of paper leaks and other irregularities in the exam conducted by BPSC. Aspirants demand the cancellation of the entire exam and a fair re-test for all candidates.

BPSC Chairman’s Response

BPSC Chairman Parmar Ravi Manubhai dismissed the demand for a complete cancellation. However, he announced a re-examination on January 4, 2025, for candidates who appeared at the Bapu Pariksha Parisar center in Patna.

Police Action Against Protesters

The Bihar Police resorted to a lathi charge on students protesting in Patna. The police stated that only mild force was used to disperse the gathering and denied reports of injuries.

“Some teachers are instigating these students, both directly and indirectly, and several social media handles are misleading them,” said DSP Anu Kumari.

Political Reactions

The protests have drawn sharp criticism from opposition leaders.

Tejashwi Yadav, Leader of Opposition, condemned the lathi charge, accusing the government of suppressing democratic protests. He attacked the ruling NDA coalition, labeling their decisions as “dictatorial

चंद माह पूर्व तक NDA के नेता नीतीश कुमार को किसी गंभीर बीमारी से पीड़ित बता उन्हें मानसिक रूप से अस्वस्थ बताते नहीं थकते थे अब वही BJP-LJP-HAM के नेता उनके तानाशाही निर्णयों को शिरोधार्य कर #BPSC परीक्षार्थियों को पुलिस से पिटवा इस गुंडागर्दी को उचित ठहरा रहे है।

The Congress party shared videos of the protests, highlighting alleged police brutality and claiming youth across India face similar situations while seeking jobs.

आज बिहार सरकार ने पुलिस भेजकर युवाओं पर लाठी चलवाई।

Government’s Defense

The administration defended its actions, claiming the protests disrupted public order.

“Protesters surrounded the commission’s office without permission, causing inconvenience,” said DSP Anu Kumari.
The police alleged that a candidate vandalized property at Gardanibagh hospital on December 23.

Conclusion

The BPSC prelims controversy has spotlighted concerns over transparency in recruitment processes. With Pappu Yadav’s call for a Bihar bandh and ongoing political backlash, the situation remains tense. Aspirants and authorities alike await the next steps, including the scheduled re-exam.

Union Min Giriraj Singh Demands Bharat Ratna For Nitish Kumar, Naveen Pattnaik

December 25, 2024, 7:09 pm

Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Wednesday said that Bharat Ratna should be conferred upon Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and former Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik.

“Nitish Kumar has worked for the development of the state. Naveen Patnaik has also served Odisha for years. Such people should be honoured with awards like Bharat Ratna,” Giriraj Singh told reporters.

He further said that the NDA government will be formed under the leadership of Nitish Kumar.

“NDA government will be formed again in Bihar. Nitish Kumar has been the Chief Minister for so many years. Today’s children who have turned thirty have not seen Lalu ji’s jungle raj,” he added.

On Tuesday, Union Minister and JD(U) leader Rajiv Ranjan Singh said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will contest the 2025 Bihar Assembly election under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

“In the 2025 Bihar Assembly election, the NDA will contest under the leadership of Nitish Kumar,” Ranjan Singh said.

The ruling NDA did well in the Lok Sabha polls in Bihar. Apart from BJP, NDA in Bihar includes JD-U, LJP (Ram Vilas) and Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular).

Nitish Kumar toppled the Mahagathbandhan government a few months before the 2024 Lok Sabha election and again formed a government with the BJP.

BJP is senior partner in the NDA in the state. While BJP has 84 MLAs, JD(U) has 48 in the State Assembly.

Notably, the Assembly elections for 243 assembly seats in Bihar are likely to be held at the end of 2025.

30-Year-Old Mother Of 3 Weds 15-Year-Old Boy, Netizens Outraged

December 24, 2024, 3:06 pm

In a story that appears straight out of a soap opera, a 30-year-old mother of three from Vaishali, Bihar, married a 15-year-old boy who is still in 7th grade. The news, accompanied by videos of Seema and her young husband, quickly went viral on social media, stirring both curiosity and controversy.

Seema has never shied away from saying so, even while defending her marriage when questioned by a reporter. “Pyaar karte the, kar liye shaadi, isme galat kya hai?” (We were in love, so we got married. What’s wrong in that?). This daring response led to much debate on love, age gap, and societal expectations.

The couple’s marriage has been in controversy because of the boy’s age and educational background. Seema, however, is unperturbed, and in fact, attacked a reporter in a viral video who questioned her choices, thus highlighting her defiance of norms.

Many social media users have slammed the marriage, which was based on the boy’s age and his incomplete education. One furious user said, “I wish there was a tradition of slapping online.” Another one said, “Completely wrong! Don’t you feel ashamed doing such things with children involved?”

A woman in Saharsa, Bihar, who is married to a man with two children, has defended her decision to marry her boyfriend. In the video, which was also shared on X (formerly Twitter), the ex-husband is seen helping organize the wedding. The boyfriend was applying traditional vermilion powder, also known as Sindoor, to the forehead of the woman, showing everyone their marriage bond. The ex-husband of the woman can be heard saying that any issue that may arise in future shall be the couple’s own problem, not his.

December 7, 2024, 9:23 am

Santosh Singh, a jeep driver, faced a terrifying attack which occurred in Hematpur, but he fought courageously and protected 15 passengers on Thursday. Despite being seriously injured in the stomach, he ensured their safety. Now, he is fighting for his life in a hospital.

Singh’s Condition

Doctors described Singh’s injuries as severe. Dr. Vikash Singh said, “His entire intestine has been damaged by the bullet injury. He underwent major surgery, and though the damaged areas have been repaired, he will remain under observation for at least a week. At present, his condition is stable.”

Police Ramp Up Investigation

The police are treating the incident seriously. Jagdishpur SDPO Rajiv Chandra Singh said, “We are taking this matter very seriously and have involved the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and District Intelligence Unit (DIU) teams.” They inspected the route of the attack and sought local assistance to identify the attacker.

Multiple Vehicles Targeted

The attack was not limited to Singh’s jeep. Two other vehicles in the convoy, returning from a tilak ceremony, were also attacked. Police recovered a pellet from a tyre on one of the vehicles. Investigators suspect a mentally unstable individual was involved. “Locals confirmed the suspect does not belong to the area after being shown a sketch,” the SDPO added.

Family Avoids Allegations

Singh’s family filed a complaint with the Bihiya police station but refrained from naming anyone. “The family has claimed no enmity with anyone,” the SDPO stated.

Santosh Singh’s bravery has moved the community. While the police continue their investigation, the village prays for his recovery.

Police Arrest Husband in Bihar in Connection with Wife’s Murder After Body Found in Bengaluru Drain

December 6, 2024, 3:00 pm

Authorities have arrested a man in Bihar for the alleged murder of his wife, whose decomposed body was found in a drain on the outskirts of Bengaluru. The suspect, identified as Mohammed Nasim, 39, a painter by profession, was apprehended in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, on Friday.

The incident took place on November 11 within the jurisdiction of the Sarjapur police station. According to police reports, Nasim and his second wife, Rumesh Khatun, 22, frequently quarreled over trivial matters, leading to a strained relationship. Suspecting his wife and motivated by personal issues, Nasim decided to end her life.

Police officials stated that Nasim strangled Khatun, bound her hands and feet with wire, and disposed of her body in a nearby drain. Following the murder, he fled to Muzaffarpur with his six children.

The grim discovery of Khatun’s body came to light a week later when locals reported a foul smell emanating from the drain. Upon investigation, authorities recovered the decomposed remains and sent them for a post-mortem examination.

During the inquiry, investigators identified the body and noted that Nasim was missing. It was revealed that he had fled the area with his six children—four from his first marriage and two from his marriage to Khatun.

Using technical evidence and mobile phone tracking, police were able to trace Nasim to Muzaffarpur. Remarkably, he had remarried shortly after his arrival in Bihar, just days before his arrest.

A case was registered against Nasim, and he was taken into custody last week in connection with the murder. The investigation continues as authorities piece together the details surrounding this tragic incident.

Drunk Guests Crash Wedding in Bihar’s Dry State: Know What Happened Next

December 1, 2024, 3:05 pm

In a major crackdown on Bihar‘s ongoing liquor ban, 40 people attending a wedding procession in Muzaffarpur were arrested on Sunday for consuming alcohol in contravention of the state‘s prohibition laws. The incident shows that the state is yet to overcome the challenges that it has been facing since it banned liquor in 2016.

Wedding Celebration Turns Into a Liquor Bust

The arrested individuals, all from the groom’s side, were found intoxicated and were reportedly planning to perform a ‘naagin’ dance during the wedding procession. Police officials also discovered that the attendees had brought liquor bottles, which they intended to gift to others at the wedding. In addition to the 40 people arrested, authorities also apprehended seven liquor traders, who allegedly supplied the alcohol.

Liquor Seized and Vehicles Confiscated

The police action involved excise department officials who, working undercover, monitored the situation and successfully carried out the operation. Two vehicles used by the wedding attendees were seized, and the liquor was confiscated. Excise Inspector Shivendra Jha stated that the department has been actively pursuing a campaign against liquor smugglers and violators of the ban.

Bihar’s Liquor Ban Continues to Face Challenges

Bihar has been struggling to enforce its total liquor ban, with several incidents of illicit liquor consumption and trade emerging over the years. Despite the ban, unregulated liquor sales continue to thrive in the state. Last month, the Patna High Court criticised state officials for their alleged complicity in the liquor trade, claiming that many government officers benefit from the illegal liquor trade, which undermines the purpose of the prohibition.

The crackdown in Muzaffarpur serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by Bihar’s government in controlling alcohol consumption despite the prohibition laws, which have led to a mix of enforcement efforts, public backlash, and growing illegal activities.

Bihar Teacher Juggles Two Jobs to Support Family on Rs 8,000 Salary

December 1, 2024, 12:11 pm

Amit Kumar, a 35-year-old physical education teacher in Bihar, struggles to make ends meet despite holding a government job. Teaching at Babu Pur Middle School in Bhagalpur district during the day and working as a food delivery rider at night, Amit earns a modest monthly salary of Rs 8,000, insufficient to sustain his family.

Challenges Of Working Two Jobs

After his teaching duties, Amit spends his evenings from 5 PM to midnight delivering food for a private company. His story highlights the financial hardships faced by government employees with low salaries, forcing them to seek additional work.

Speaking about his circumstances, Amit shared with ANI, “After a long wait, I finally got a government job in 2022. My family was overjoyed. I had taken the exam in 2019, and the results came in February 2020. I scored 74 out of 100, and we were thrilled. My family thought our situation would improve. Earlier, I worked at a private school, but when COVID hit, I lost that job. After two and a half years, I got this government position, but the salary was fixed at just Rs 8,000, and I was labelled a part-time employee, meaning I wasn’t required to stay long hours at school. Initially, we worked full-time and encouraged students to participate in sports.”

He added, “The students showed interest and even won medals. But even after two and a half years, the government hasn’t increased our salary or conducted eligibility exams. Life has become difficult. Senior teachers here receive Rs 42,000 as salary, while we get only Rs 8,000.”

Amit’s challenges are compounded by delayed payments. Earlier this year, he went four months without receiving his salary, forcing him to borrow money. “After February, I didn’t receive my salary for four months. I had to borrow money from friends, and the debt kept piling up. On my wife’s suggestion, I searched online and found I could work as a food delivery rider. There was no time restriction, so I created an ID and started working. After school, from 5 PM to 1 AM, I deliver food.”

Impact On Personal Life

The financial strain has deeply impacted Amit’s personal life. “With Rs 8,000 as my salary, I can’t even think about expanding my family. I wonder how I can provide for the next generation when I’m struggling to feed myself. I got married two and a half years ago when I got the job. I’m the eldest son and need to stay at home to care for my elderly mother, which is why I am compelled to take up this additional work,” he explained.

Despite his tireless efforts, Amit continues to hope for better opportunities and a salary increase to improve his family’s circumstances.

This Bihar Teacher Personally Drives Her Students To School

November 8, 2024, 1:37 pm

Gauri Tripathi, a remarkable woman from Bihar’s Bhojpur district, defies gender expectations by driving a passenger vehicle daily. For 10 kilometers each day, she ensures school children are safely transported to school and back home. Beyond just transporting students, she also serves other passengers on her route, challenging traditional norms in a field dominated by men. Gauri’s bold actions stand as a symbol of women’s empowerment, demonstrating resilience and equality in the face of societal expectations.

Since 2016, Gauri has been running RR Shiksha Niketan, a private school in Kasap village, Bihar, which caters to underprivileged children, many of whom come from distant areas. Initially, she had arranged for a driver to transport the children. However, after an incident in which the driver, intoxicated, crashed the vehicle into a pole—thankfully without injuring any children—Gauri took matters into her own hands. This accident served as a wake-up call, leading her to decide that she would learn to drive herself to ensure the safety of the children.

With determination, Gauri began driving the school vehicle, despite the stares she received from onlookers. Over time, her driving became an accepted part of the community, and today, she confidently drives students every day. Gauri’s journey serves as an inspiration to women, proving that no task is too small or too large when approached with commitment and self-belief. She continues to show that with determination, anyone can break barriers and make a meaningful impact.

Sachin Pilot criticises Centre on allocating funds to Bihar and Andhra Pradesh

October 29, 2024, 2:43 am

Sachin Pilot criticised the allocation of lakhs of crores of rupees to two states, claiming it was done to further political interests rather than genuine needs. While he expressed no opposition to Bihar and Andhra Pradesh, he emphasised that such funding should not be politically motivated. He argued that without understanding how many individuals have not benefited, it becomes challenging to formulate effective policies. He concluded that a caste census is essential for informed policy intervention.
Talking about the conflict in Haryana and Rajasthan over roadways buses, he said that this is just a small example.
“Where all are the conflicts happening. It is happening in power. It is happening in the organisation. There is a BJP government in both the places, yet people are suffering losses. The public is burdened. The central government is yours. The Rajasthan government is yours, the Haryana government is yours. Then whom will you blame. If there is no coordination among themselves,” he said.
Pilot said that there are many such issues where there is no coordination among the state governments.
“An MoU has been signed between Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana, but no one has been able to see the MoU till date. The announcement has been made, sweets have been distributed, but no one knows what is written in the MoU. When the government is yours, then why do you want to hide the truth from the people. The government has not been able to answer this,” he said.
Pilot criticised the BJP government for prioritising the renaming of roads and institutions while neglecting substantive public service. He accused the ruling party of using the cow as a political tool to garner votes without providing transparency on expenditures related to cow protection and conservation.
“The Congress government has always prioritised public service and genuinely worked towards the protection of cows,” Pilot stated.
He emphasised that the current administration focuses on speeches rather than concrete actions, suggesting that their approach revolves around gaining electoral support under the guise of cow and religious issues, without delivering tangible benefits to the public.
Sachin Pilot said that people are tired.
“They have made up their mind against BJP. Now the countdown to 2029 has started. The government is not able to answer the questions in the tone with which Rahul Gandhi has held the government accountable after becoming the leader of the opposition. I.N.D.I.A. alliance and we are fighting the elections together.
There are elections in Jharkhand and Maharashtra. Our government is going to be formed there. Priyanka Gandhi is contesting the Wayanad by-election. There are by-elections in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. We will win the elections with a good majority,” he said.

Pilot said that the election in Haryana has been held.
“Questions are being raised on it. I do not want to go into that. But people wanted change, for some reason it could not be accomplished in Haryana. There are many reasons for this. Our defeated candidates are also going to the court. They are also going to the Election Commission. That is a process, but it does not mean that people are not tired of BJP. People have made up their mind to stand with the Congress. As far as I.N.D.I.A. alliance is concerned, it was strong before and is strong even today. In seat sharing, we move forward with mutual agreement. Everyone moves forward after talking and discussing. Our aim is to defeat BJP and NDA.”
He announced his visit to Marathwada on Tuesday, stating that the entire Congress leadership will campaign together in areas where elections are being held. Discussing the Rajasthan by-elections, he expressed confidence in their strength across all seven constituencies, declaring, “We will win the elections.”
While acknowledging that every election poses challenges, he noted that this election highlights the public’s growing disillusionment with the government.
Pilot pointed out the achievements in initiatives like the Jal Jeevan Mission and rural development, but also mentioned the financial crisis impacting governance. He criticised the current administration for internal conflicts, with bureaucrats and leaders pulling in different directions, leaving the public caught in the middle and suffering as a result.
“This is a critical test for the BJP government,” he emphasised, urging them to reflect on their governance and provide details of their accomplishments over the past year.
He called for transparency regarding the MoUs worth Rs14 lakh crore that have reportedly been signed, questioning how many of these agreements will be implemented, as he noted similar promises made by former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje.
Pilot asserted that if BJP leaders believe they can win based solely on their governance record, they are mistaken. He confidently stated that Congress will emerge victorious in all seven seats.

Bihar Man Constructs 6-Storey ‘Eiffel Tower’ on Just 5 Feet of Land | WATCH

Surprising feats often capture the internet’s attention, and one such instance involves Amit Yadav, a resident of Saharsa, Bihar. Amit’s remarkable dedication has led him to construct a six-story building on a mere five feet of land, which has sparked discussions throughout the district. Reports indicate that this unique structure, designed primarily for employment purposes, also houses a clothing showroom.

Located in Sabela village of Baijnathpur in Saharsa, the building’s unusual design has earned it the nickname “Eiffel Tower.” It has become a popular selfie spot, attracting visitors from the city and surrounding areas, all amazed by a building situated on such a narrow plot.

Interestingly, Amit did not consult a professional engineer for this project. In a recent interview, he revealed that he designed the building’s blueprint himself and enlisted local laborers for construction. The cost of this extraordinary edifice is approximately ₹90 lakh. Construction began during the COVID-19 pandemic and took about a year to complete.

Amit utilized special bricks that he crafted specifically for this building. Positioned along NH 107 in Saharsa, the structure’s height and unique design often draw attention, prompting passersby to stop and admire it. However, Amit noted that this curiosity has occasionally led to accidents, as the building is located near a road, causing some traffic disruptions.

This isn’t the first time a remarkable building in Bihar has gone viral. A recent video from Muzaffarpur showcased a five-story house built on just six feet of land, leaving many intrigued. Situated in Gannipur locality, this building, described in the video, measures only five feet wide from the inside yet includes essential facilities such as a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. It is divided into two sections, with one housing the stairs and the other containing the living spaces.

The vlogger dubbed it “Bihar’s Burf Khalifa,” while others referred to it as the “Eiffel Tower of Bihar,” drawing comparisons to the iconic Taj Mahal. This building has also attracted tourists eager to take photographs, further cementing its status as a local attraction.

Four Kanwariyas Killed After Being Struck by Vehicle in Banka District in Bihar

October 19, 2024, 8:13 am

At least four Kanwariyas lost their lives, and several others sustained injuries after a vehicle struck them on Friday night in Bihar’s Banka district, according to the police. The group of Kanwariyas had been traveling to the Jast Gaur Nath Mahadev temple, having collected Ganga water from Sultanganj.

Injuries and Hospitalization

The injured were immediately taken to a hospital for treatment, as confirmed by the police. Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Bipin Bihari explained, “Some Kanwariyas were hit by a vehicle…4 people have died. There was some law & order situation initially but the situation is normal. Police are present at the spot…”

Villagers React

Following the accident, some angry villagers set a police vehicle on fire. Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Avinash Kumar, who arrived at the scene, stated, “We immediately reached the spot… Around 10-11 people have been injured in the incident and are undergoing treatment… 4 people have died. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem. The situation is peaceful and the administration is cooperating fully… We will investigate the incident …”

Separate Tragedy in Uttar Pradesh

In a separate incident, two people lost their lives and 20 others were injured when a private bus veered off the road and fell into a ravine on the Balrampur road in UP’s Siddharthnagar district. The bus was returning from a religious site, and the victims were residents of Mahankola village in the Shohratgarh tehsil.
