Nitish Kumar-led JD-U has decided to contest West Bengal assembly elections alone.
Days after Chirag Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) announced that it will field candidates on all 294 Assembly seats in the upcoming Bengal elections, Nitish Kumar s Janata Dal-United has also made its ambitions clear. The JD-U, which is in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the neighbouring Bihar, will go solo in West Bengal.Â
Speaking to reporters in Kolkata on Thursday, Bablu Mahato, chairman of JD-U s election committee in West Bengal said the party will contest the state polls alone. However, Mahato didn t divulge any details regarding the number of seats the JD-U will contest on.

The brutal murder of Patna University’s Prof. Papiya Ghosh and her elderly maidservant at her home in Patna on December 3 shocked the academic community in Bihar. A brave and popular singleton, Prof. Ghosh taught history to postgrad students at Patna University.
In a state where college education is in a shambles and elite private tutors hire armed bodyguards as they teach batches of 200-500 students to rake in big bucks, the brutal murder of this popular academic has come as a huge blow to the already demoralised academy. That a serious academic could be killed in such a barbaric manner in one of the most upscale residential localities of the state capital has conveyed a chilling message: the state is still at the mercy of anti-social goons and criminals and the role of the police is merely to reconstruct crimes without much hope of successful arrest and prosecution of perpetrators.

Patna, Feb 10 : Leaving behind the days of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veterans L.K. Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi at the national level, the saffron party in Bihar seems to be taking a new turn after emerging as the single-largest party in the Assembly elections.
In the state, the BJP has given indications of giving a platform to young leaders, sidelining veterans. In the Assembly elections held in 2020, although the party gave tickets to veteran leaders, they were, however, denied ministerial berths.
