Bihar's beloved folk singer Sharda Sinha will be laid to rest with state honours, as announced by CM Nitish Kumar, following her passing on November 5.
Leaders of the JD(U), BJP and smaller partners Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Rashtriya Lok Morcha and Hindustani Awam Morcha met at Kumar’s 1, Anne Marg residence for the meeting.
After being stopped by the police, Akhilesh paid tribute to JP Narayan by garlanding a statue of him outside his residence in Lucknow.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has inspected the construction of the Patna-Gaya-Dobhi four-lane highway and directed officials to complete the work expeditiously.
In the wake of a violent incident where at least 20-25 houses were set ablaze in Nawada, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Friday raised serious concerns about the deteriorating law and order situation in Bihar.
The RJD diktat to all senior party officials is not to make any public statement as its leadership works behind the scenes to turn the evolving situation in its favour.
Nitish Kumar will take oath as Bihar's chief minister for the 8th time today (Wednesday) afternoon at 2pm, after leaving BJP on Tuesday and forming new "Grand Alliance" with Tejashwi Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and other Opposition parties. Tejashwi Yadav will take oath as Deputy Chief Minister.
The BJP, which was on Tuesday checkmated by Nitish Kumar's JD(U), its oldest ally in the state, didn't even get the time for damage control.
She tweeted, "The predicament Nitish Kumar & opposition parties find themselves in isn’t just because they are facing BJP. Instead they are facing the might of an authoritarian government thats weaponising every agency be it NIA, ED, CBI etc to ensure an opposition free India".
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav praised Nitish Kumar, who submitted his resignation as Chief Minister on Tuesday, for his "bold decision" to come out from the NDA.
