JD(U) President and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar emphasized the use of Hindi in the INDIA alliance, which DMK leader T R Baalu said was tolerated for the alliance s cordiality. Baalu questioned the Chief Minister s plan and whether it would cause electoral damage. He cited a meeting where Kumar stressed the importance of Hindi, and the party tolerated the use of Hindi as a compromise.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is expected to be appointed as the convenor of the INDIA coalition, according to his deputy Tejashwi Yadav. Yadav, from the RJD, believes that the issue of seat-sharing will be resolved without issue. The alliance, which was in opposition until August 2022, aligned with the JD(U) to defeat the BJP. The INDIA bloc formed after bringing together parties opposed to the BJP across the country. Yadav is expected to meet the Dalai Lama in Bodh Gaya.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was elected Janata Dal (United) president at the party s national executive meeting here on Friday. Kumar replaced Lalan Singh who proposed the chief minister s name for the post, party leader K C Tyagi told reporters.
JD(U) president Rajiv Ranjan Singh "Lalan" alleged that the treatment that Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra is being given in Parliament was against the principles of natural justice. "The BJP is a political washing machine. It washes away the taints of all those who join or support the party. It would not be a surprise if it extends the favour to Nawab Malik," remarked the JD(U) chief.
