A Union minister has described Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as the “dulha” (groom) of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), signaling his central role in the coalition’s strategy for the state. The remark, made on October 22, 2025, ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, underscores Nitish Kumar’s significance in maintaining the NDA’s voter base and coordinating between allied parties such as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), LJP, and smaller regional outfits. The statement reflects the perception that Kumar’s political influence and personal credibility are pivotal for the NDA to secure key constituencies, particularly in the caste-sensitive regions of Bihar. Nitish Kumar’s leadership has historically been instrumental in shaping electoral outcomes for the NDA, given his long-standing grassroots connect and governance record. The Union minister’s analogy of him as the “dulha” highlights the strategic importance of Kumar as a unifying figure who can rally support across alliance partners and consolidate votes in both urban and rural areas. This public endorsement also appears aimed at boosting morale within the NDA, projecting a narrative of cohesion and shared purpose among coalition members. With the Bihar polls approaching, the remark has generated widespread discussion across political circles, reinforcing the narrative that the NDA’s success in the state is closely linked to Nitish Kumar’s personal political capital. Party workers and supporters have circulated the statement as a symbolic affirmation of the Chief Minister’s leadership role, emphasizing his significance in guiding the alliance through a highly competitive electoral landscape. #NitishKumar #BiharPolitics #NDA #BJP #LJP
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar have strongly criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Members of Parliament (MPs) from the state, accusing them of neglecting Bengaluru’s development and failing to secure central funds due to Karnataka. Speaking at a joint press conference in Bengaluru on October 22, 2025, both leaders alleged that despite repeated requests, the state’s BJP MPs had not pressed the Union government for allocations related to urban infrastructure, flood relief, and pending grants under central schemes such as the Smart City Mission and the Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project. They argued that the lack of cooperation from BJP representatives was stalling critical projects in the state’s capital, especially in areas of drainage improvement, solid waste management, and transportation expansion. Siddaramaiah emphasized that the state government has been fulfilling its fiscal responsibilities but has been “stonewalled” by the Centre’s bureaucratic delays and political indifference. He cited data showing that over ₹4,500 crore in sanctioned funds remain unreleased for civic and environmental projects, while ₹3,200 crore allocated for the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) fleet modernization is pending approval. Deputy CM Shivakumar, who also heads the Bengaluru Development Ministry, accused the BJP of deliberately neglecting the city to discredit the Congress-led administration ahead of the 2026 Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) elections. He said the Congress government had already initiated state-funded efforts for stormwater drain revamps, new metro corridors, and water recycling plants to compensate for the shortfall in central funding. #KarnatakaPolitics #Siddaramaiah #DKShivakumar #BJP #Congress #BengaluruDevelopment #UrbanInfrastructure
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has firmly dismissed speculation about a move to national politics, declaring that he will continue serving in his current state role until 2029. Speaking at a press interaction in Mumbai, Fadnavis reaffirmed his commitment to Maharashtra’s development agenda, clarifying that his political focus remains entirely within the state. The clarification came after growing speculation that he might take on a national role within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), particularly in the lead-up to the 2026 Maharashtra Assembly elections and the 2029 general elections. He emphasized that the ongoing development initiatives under the BJP-led government — particularly in infrastructure, water conservation, and urban modernization — are his top priorities, and he intends to see them through to completion. Fadnavis, who previously served as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra from 2014 to 2019, remains one of the most influential leaders in the state’s BJP unit. Since returning to power in 2022 as Deputy CM in the Eknath Shinde-led government, he has played a key role in stabilizing the coalition between the Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and the BJP following the political turmoil triggered by Uddhav Thackeray’s ouster. His statement also subtly signals an attempt to quell internal speculation within the party ranks, as discussions had been circulating about his possible shift to the Union Cabinet in New Delhi. By committing to Maharashtra until 2029, Fadnavis underscored his intent to lead the state BJP through two key electoral cycles and maintain continuity in governance. #DevendraFadnavis #MaharashtraPolitics #BJP #EknathShindeGovernment #MVA #StateLeadership #2029Elections

The Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP), led by Om Prakash Rajbhar, has announced that it will contest the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections independently after being dropped from the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance’s seat-sharing arrangement. Feeling sidelined and denied the seats they had requested, SBSP decided to assert its presence in the elections without aligning with any major coalition. The party plans to contest 153 out of 243 seats and has already announced a list of 48 candidates for the first phase of voting, along with 20 star campaigners including Om Prakash Rajbhar and his sons Arvind Rajbhar and Arun Rajbhar. SBSP claims strong organizational influence in eastern Bihar, where communities like Rajbhar, Bhar, and Rajvanshi hold significant sway. This move could impact the vote share in key OBC/EBC-dominated constituencies, potentially splitting votes that might have otherwise gone to the BJP-NDA alliance. SBSP emphasizes its commitment to social justice and regional representation, positioning itself as a significant player in Bihar politics ahead of the November 6 and November 11, 2025 polling dates. #BiharElections2025 #SBSP #OmPrakashRajbhar #SeatSharingDispute #NDA #BJP #OBCPolitics #RegionalParties #ElectionStrategy #PoliticalRealignment

Maharashtra Congress chief Harshavardhan Sapkal has called the RSS’s recent references to Mahatma Gandhi an ideological defeat, arguing that the organization is attempting to rewrite history. Sapkal criticized the RSS and its political affiliate, the BJP, for invoking Gandhi’s legacy despite decades of opposing his principles, accusing them of hypocrisy. According to him, this “sudden reverence” is a sign of ideological surrender rather than genuine respect. He highlighted that the RSS-BJP framework was historically rooted in divisive politics and confrontation with Gandhi’s ideas of nonviolence, social equality, and inclusion. By portraying Gandhi in a favorable light now, Sapkal said, the RSS is attempting to co-opt his moral authority for political advantage, particularly ahead of elections, rather than demonstrating consistent adherence to his teachings. Sapkal’s statement has sparked debate in political circles about historical interpretation, political messaging, and ideological consistency. Congress leaders argue that respect for Gandhi should be genuine, consistent, and reflected in actions, not selectively highlighted when politically convenient. Analysts note that this controversy could shape voter perception, especially among communities sensitive to historical narratives and moral authority. #RSS #HarshavardhanSapkal #MahatmaGandhi #IdeologicalDefeat #BJP #Congress #PoliticalCriticism #IndianPolitics #HistoricalLegacy #Controversy (timesofindia.indiatimes.com)
Maharashtra Congress chief Harshavardhan Sapkal recently criticized the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for suddenly invoking Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy, after decades of vilifying him in public discourse. Sapkal argued that this apparent change in tone is contradictory, highlighting that the RSS and its political affiliate, the BJP, have historically been opposed to Gandhi’s ideals, citing examples of ideological clashes, disagreements over nonviolence, and accusations of fostering division. Sapkal accused the RSS-BJP framework of building its foundation on falsehoods and violence, contrasting sharply with the values Gandhi stood for. He said that the recent praise of Gandhi appears opportunistic and politically motivated, aimed at softening public perception ahead of elections and appropriating Gandhi’s universal appeal for contemporary narratives. Congress leaders also emphasized that respect for Gandhi should be consistent and genuine, not used selectively for political messaging. timesofindia.indiatimes.com The criticism reflects a larger debate in India about historical memory and political appropriation. Sapkal’s statements may fuel further scrutiny over how political organizations reconcile their past stances with current messaging. For observers, the controversy highlights how the legacies of historical figures like Gandhi continue to shape and polarize political discourse, with differing interpretations used strategically across party lines. The issue could also resonate among voters who care about authenticity and ideological consistency in political parties. #RSS #HarshavardhanSapkal #MahatmaGandhi #IdeologicalShift #BJP #PoliticalCriticism #IndianPolitics #HistoricalMemory #PartyMessaging #Controversy

The Adani Group has sparked a major political storm after being allotted 1,050 acres of land in Pirpainti, Bhagalpur (Bihar) on a lease of ₹1 per year for 33 years to build a 2,400 MW thermal power plant. Congress leader Pawan Khera accused the BJP-led Bihar government and Industries Minister Nitish Mishra of favoring Adani just ahead of state elections. He alleged that the land, home to nearly 10 lakh trees including mango, litchi, and teak, would be cleared, causing massive environmental damage. The opposition called it a “land gift” to Adani and demanded the deal be scrapped. The Bihar government rejected the claims, clarifying that a transparent bidding process was followed where four companies participated, and Adani Power won by quoting the lowest tariff of ₹6.075 per unit. Government officials argue the project will bring jobs, investment, and power to the region, but critics say it highlights crony capitalism and raises serious concerns about environmental impact, public interest, and fairness in resource allocation. #AdaniGroup #BiharPolitics #Pirpainti #Bhagalpur #ThermalPowerPlant #LandAllotment #EnvironmentalConcerns #CronyCapitalism #BJP #Congress #PawanKhera #NitishMishra #PoliticalStorm #ResourceAllocation #GreenIndia #DeforestationAlert #PublicInterest #InvestmentVsEnvironment #News #newsone
