INTERVIEW | People trust the ModiNitish duo to deliver: Dharmendra Pradhan
As Bihar is in the middle of a crucial election, the BJP is banking on its long-standing social engineering and record in governance. Dharmendra Pradhan , one of the partys key strategists, in an exclusive interview with Santwana Bhattacharya , Editor of The New Indian Express , talks about the three pillars of the NDA campaign, the continuing resonance of the jungle raj narrative, and the challenge posed by Prashant Kishor. Excerpts: You are one of BJPs key strategists for the Bihar election. What are the three major pillars of the BJPs campaign and narrative? The NDAs socio-political engineering goes back to Vajpayeejis time. Since 1996, we have built a solid base under the NDA. We have been governing Bihar since 2005 and at the Centre since 2014. Development is our foremost plankthe clear-cut difference between pre-2005 and post-2005 Bihar. Secondly, the people have not forgotten the misrule of Lalu Prasad and his allies between 1990 and 2005. Those years brought socio-economic imbalance and deep resentment against that dispensation. Thirdly, Bihar today is an aspirational society. People here are conscious of their political rights and expectations. They want to know who can deliver. The NDA, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has earned that trust. People have full faith in this duo. It is often said the BJP evokes the past to get votes. Instead of a report card on 20 years of the NDA rule, why keep talking about jungle raj? Development is our main election issue. The difference between pre-2005 and post-2005 Bihar is visiblein roads, electricity, womens safety, empowerment through Jeevika Didis and many other parameters. Across more than 100 schemes, the progress is evident. That is the primary achievement of the double-engine government, both in Bihar and Delhi. How do you assess the Prashant Kishor phenomenon? This election is essentially a contest between two alliances the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan. In a democracy, many will contest, but the real fight is between these two mainstream alliances. How many seats do you expect to win? Between the BJP and the JD(U), who will get more? I am not an astrologer, but I am confident we are heading for a decisive victory. Can Nitish Kumar still be relied upon, considering his age and health? Would there be a change of guard if the NDA returns to power? I politely disagree with that view. Nitish Kumar remains a dynamic and vibrant leader. He travels over 250 km daily by road and addresses several rallies. In Indian society, we do not disrespect an ageing father. He has a vision for Bihar, and people trust him. Any premature assessment about his future is unfortunate. But he has changed alliances more than once, and there are health concerns Nitish Kumar has been a proven ally of the NDA for nearly 30 years, barring a few brief breaks. In recent public meetings, he has said that till his last breath, he will remain with PM Modi and the NDA. Despite his health issues, his brand remains intact. Modi and Nitish are a lethal combination. Will the BJP allow Nitish to continue as chief minister if JD(U) gets fewer seats? In 2020, the BJP had more seats than the JD(U), yet Nitish Kumar was sworn in as chief minister. We should not reduce politics to such arithmeticthat is unfortunate. In Odisha, Naveen Patnaiks health became an election issue. Could Bihar see something similar? No. In Odisha, the issue was not health but non-performance, corruption, and nepotism, which allowed non-Odia elements to interfere in governance. A power broker was effectively running the government that was the real issue. Education is another big issue in Bihar. As Union Education Minister, what is your vision under the NEP? To achieve the Viksit Bharat 2047 goal, education is the first precondition. Through education, skill, and capacity-building, we can reach our developmental goals. Bihar is the land of Nalanda and Vikramshila. In the 21st century, we must recreate that knowledge ecosystem. We have provided substantial central funds. Recently, 19 new Kendriya Vidyalayas have been approved. A new IIM has come up under PM Modis tenure, along with new central universities in North and South Bihar. The Opposition says the `10,000 aid for women is an election sop. This initiative is for womens empowerment, not elections. The Jeevika Didi programme has been running since 2005. Is it wrong to support womens entrepreneurship? The Opposition is criticising this only to hide its failures in the states it governs. The Opposition alliance has promised one government job per household. How do you respond? That is Mungerilal ke haseen sapnedaydreaming. We have created opportunities across the spectrumfrom internships to entrepreneurship, and in both government and private sectors where potential exists. Where does Bihar fit into the NDAs Vision 2047 for India? Bihar will be the captain of this initiative. Prime Minister Modi is the first PM to truly prioritise eastern India. He coined the term Purvodaya, focusing on infrastructure, social sectors and mineral developmentall of which have benefited the region. Bihar, in particular, has been a major beneficiary. Thats why Nitish Kumar is appealing for a new Bihar for the 21st century.

CHANDIGARH: Contrary to initial reports, 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh, an Indian-origin driver who crashed his semi-truck killing three US citizens in California last month, was not driving while being 'intoxicated'. However, the case remains a grossly negligent homicide, stated the Bernardino County District Attorneys Office. An updated complaint was filed last week, which said that toxicology reports confirmed that none of the toxic substances tested were present in Singhs blood at the time the test was rendered. The complaint includes the three counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, as well as the new charge of `reckless driving on a highway causing a specified injury. Eyewitness and dashcam footage showed Singh travelling at a high speed through stopped traffic. This is a heinous tragedy that took three lives and severely injured others. Frankly, it was easily avoidable if the defendant had not been driving in a grossly negligent manner. Had the rule of law been followed by State and Federal officials, the defendant should have never been in California at all, said San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson. No bail was set for Singh, and authorities said they will continue to request no bail based on the seriousness of the offence and his flight risk. Earlier, the California Highway Patrol had stated that Singh was driving a speeding semi-truck and failed to apply the brakes before crashing into slow-moving traffic stuck in congestion on Interstate 10 in San Bernardino County. The dashcam footage showed the same. The Department of Homeland Security said that he was not a lawful immigrant and that ICE has lodged a detainer following his arrest. Singh, an illegal immigrant, had crossed the southern border of the US in 2022 and was released pending an immigration hearing. He hails from Purana Shala village in Gurdaspur district. His family was in shock after learning about the incident. Singhs father, Ravinder Singh, a school bus driver, had earlier levied allegations that his son was under the influence of drugs were baseless and urged the Union Government to intervene to ensure no injustice is done to his son. Asserting that he never consumed drugs or any intoxicant, he said, My son was not into drugs; he is an Amritdhari Sikh. The allegations of drugs against him are completely wrong. This is the second such incident since August in which an Indian-origin truck driver has been accused of causing a deadly crash in the US. On August 12, Harjinder Singh, 28, allegedly made an illegal U-turn in his tractor-trailer in Florida, causing a deadly crash that killed three people. He faces three counts of vehicular homicide. Following the incident, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a pause to all issuances of commercial truck driver work visas. The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on US roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers, Rubio had posted on social media.

Karnataka Education Policy delayed; Academics for Peoples Education Policy as alternative to NEP
BENGALURU: Amidst a raging debate on National Education Policy (NEP) and State Education Policy (SEP), the All India Save Education Committee (AISEC) of professors and former vice-chancellors of various universities across the country have drafted Peoples Education Policy 2025 (PEP), calling it an alternative to NEP. Rajashekar VN, member of AISEC, said, We have pointed out many drawbacks in NEP from the time it was introduced. We have drafted PEP, which is still open to suggestions and changes from various stakeholders in education. We will place it before the Union and state governments in January and push for its implementation. PEP favours appointment of adequate teachers, not to assign non-academic work to teachers, removal of no-detention policy, reintroduction of year-end exams, and implementation of the two-language formula, among others. Meanwhile, educationists have criticised the state government for not rejecting NEP and for the delay in posting the SEP report in the public domain. Kathyayini Chamaraj, an educationist and executive trustee of CIVIC, said, I dont understand the reason for the delay in posting the SEP report in the public domain. It was submitted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah two months ago. I had submitted a memorandum with certain suggestions to one of the members of the SEP committee. The memorandum was given after consulting teachers and anganwadi workers, who are part of elementary education in the state. Kathyayini said the state government has not rejected NEP. There are many issues with NEP. It has no proper mention of free and compulsory education, except once. In that case, how can one justify Article 21A which provides for free and compulsory education for those in the age group of 6 to 14? She said neither the Union government nor NEP has taken a stand on whether a child should be in school or college till the age of 18. This means the child can drop out after 14 and start working as a labourer. Then, in what way vocational training is going to benefit them? As per the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) Plus, the rate of enrolment of children in schools is on the decline. It fell from 26.36 crore in 2018-22 to 25.17 crore in 2022-23 and from 24.8 in 2023-24 to 1.55 crore in 2024-25.

NEW DELHI: RJD leader and Mahagathbandhans chief ministerial face, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, exudes confidence as Bihar heads to the polls, promising a development model centred on employment and empowerment. Employment is at the heart of my vision for Biharit will drive the states growth, he tells TNIE's Rajesh Kumar Thakur. Criticising the BJP-JD(U) alliance as fractured and failed, Tejashwi pledged to redirect resources towards people-centric projects, empower women through the Mai Bahin Maan Yojana , and curb youth migration from Bihar. Excerpts from the interview Q: Whats your vision for Bihars development, and how do you plan to achieve it? Tejashwi: Employment is at the heart of my vision for Bihar. It will be the driver of development in the state. First and foremost, employment puts money in the hands of the people, who contribute right back to the economy. Secondly, public and social sector employment creates better infrastructure and services for everyone. That means more and better facilities for education, healthcare, law and order, and rural and urban infrastructure. Thirdly, it creates favourable conditions for private investment. I wish to emphasise that in times of economic uncertainty and crisis, policy decisions to increase public spending and promote job creation have historically been effective. The current model of austeritythat is, cutting public spendingbeing imposed on India and Bihar by the NDA government has failed everywhere in the world. Its a right-wing policy that is patently anti-people. Q: How do you plan to tackle unemployment, a major issue in Bihar? Tejashwi: We will begin by filling up vacancies in the public sector. We will swiftly assess Bihars future workforce needs, create positions in mission mode, and actively engage private and foreign investors, showcasing our educated, hardworking youth and fully supporting those who generate quality employment opportunities in the state. Q: What are your thoughts on the current law and order situation in Bihar, and how will you improve it? Tejashwi: The law and order situation in the state is poor due to the lack of political will within the state government. The government appears to lack the necessary power to act decisively. The only reason I can think of is that perhaps the government patronises criminal elements and is therefore loath to touch them. We will instruct law enforcement to uphold the rule of law without fear or favour. Action will be taken against those in the police force who collude with criminal elements or harass citizens. We will particularly focus on womens safety and security. We have plans to make the police force inclusive we will induct more women into the force. Q: Youve promised one government job per family. How do you plan to fund this initiative? Tejashwi: The question most of the time is not so much about the resources but their effective deployment. On the other hand, it is also a matter of matching job seekers with appropriate jobs in terms of qualifications and skills. We are exploring various approaches based on income and backwardness criteria of families, categorisation of jobs in terms of qualifications and skills, and the implementation of decentralised or panchayat-level budgeting and hiring, among other elements. Q: Can you elaborate on your Mai Bahin Maan Yojana , and how will it empower women in Bihar? Tejashwi: Women are the backbone of Bihars economy and society, yet they remain economically vulnerable. The Mai Bahin Maan Yojana will provide direct financial assistance of 2,500 per month to women from economically weaker sections. When women have money in their hands, they invest in their families and communities. Beyond the cash transfer, we will link it with skill development programmes, self-help groups, and credit facilities. Q: How do you respond to critics who say your promises are unrealistic or unaffordable? Tejashwi: The same critics who question our policies have no problem when thousands of crores were written off for corporate loans. They also have no problem with the central governments disastrous handling of the economy. If you remember, MGNREGA was called unrealistic, but today it is a lifeline for millions. Our proposals are fundamentally sound. We are talking about reorienting priorities, not magic. Currently, enormous amounts are being spent on projects that do not reach people. We want to change that. The real question is: can we afford not to do this? Can we afford another generation of educated youth leaving Bihar? That is the cost, in my opinion, we should be calculating. Q: How do you see the Mahagathbandhan alliance performing in the elections? Tejashwi: The Mahagathbandhan represents the aspirations of Bihars people the farmers, workers, youth and women who have been ignored by the government. More importantly, we have a positive agenda. We are fighting for employment, dignity and development. The people of Bihar can see the contrast. On one side, theres a government that has failed on every parameter unemployment, law and order, infrastructure. On the other side, there is the Mahagathbandhan with concrete plans and a proven track record. I am confident we will get a decisive mandate. Q: What makes you confident that youll win the elections and become the Chief Minister? Tejashwi: My confidence comes from the people I meet every day. When I travel across Bihar, I see hope in peoples eyes. People want change; they want a government that delivers. The BJP-JD(U) alliance is fractured. They are fighting among themselves. Their model of governance has failed. So yes, I am confident because of the ground reality. The people of Bihar want change, and they see us as that change. Q: How will you handle the friendly fights within the alliance in some seats? Tejashwi: I have personally spoken to leaders across the alliance. There is open communication and understanding between all of us. It shows the democratic spirit within the alliance. Our workers understand that the real fight is against the current governments failures, not against each other. The key is to keep focus on the larger goal defeating the NDA and forming a government that works for the people. What matters is that after the results, we all come together to form a stable government. Q: How do you respond to allegations of Jungle Raj and corruption against your party? Tejashwi: This is a tired, old narrative that has been repeatedly used against us, and the people of Bihar have seen through it. I would even go a step further and say that it is used cynically by a variety of elite actors, including the media, as a slur. I am not going to mince any words. It has much to do with the fact that our government empowered marginalised communities who had been victims of historical oppression. That empowerment was labelled as Jungle Raj by those who lost their monopoly over power. Q: Can you comment on your brother Tej Pratap Yadavs decision to contest against you in Raghopur? Tejashwi: Politically, I respect everyones democratic right to contest elections. Personally, its painful when family differences play out publicly. Sometimes in families, people have different perspectives. I respect that. As for Raghopur, it is my home and people know me there. They have elected me to represent them earlier as well. I am confident they will support me again. My focus is on serving the people, not on family politics. Q: How do you plan to balance your responsibilities as a leader with your personal life? Tejashwi: I have learnt over the years that you need to find balance; otherwise, you cannot sustain a life in public work. I think personal life gives you grounding. When you are connected to your family and to normal everyday concerns, it keeps you connected to what ordinary people go through. So personal life is not separate from political life it informs it. You need to be a complete human being to be an effective leader. Family, health, and some personal time these things make you better equipped to handle the pressures of governance. Q: Your party has given tickets to Bhumihar and upper-caste candidates as well. Is this a restructured social engineering from what the RJD followed earlier? Tejashwi: RJD has always been an inclusive party. Our core ideology is social justice, which means justice for all sections that have been marginalised, whether it is backward castes, Dalits, minorities, or anyone else. But social justice does not mean exclusion of any community. The younger generation across castes wants development, employment, and opportunities. They are looking beyond rigid caste identities. Q: Is the SIR exercise damaging your partys prospects of winning more seats? Tejashwi: The SIR exercise has raised serious concerns, and we have been very vocal about it. What we are seeing is a systematic attempt to delete genuine voters, particularly from constituencies where certain communities are present in significant numbers. The Election Commission needs to be transparent about this process. It is certainly a challenge we have to deal with. But I want to say that the people of Bihar are aware of what is happening. They understand this is manipulation. And when people see such blatant attempts to deny them their democratic right, it creates anger and determination. Q: As you have emerged as an articulate young leader in Bihar, how far do youth and women trust your political policies? Tejashwi: I think the response I am getting from youth and women is very encouraging. Young people today want leaders who understand their aspirations, who speak their language, who have concrete plans. I am also accessible on social media, I engage with their concerns, and I am open to criticism and suggestions. As for women, they have historically been strong supporters of the RJD because we have championed their issues. My mothers legacy plays a role. She empowered women politically. Now with the Mai Bahin Maan Yojana and a focus on womens education and employment, we are taking this forward.
