PATNA: Hours after RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav asked JD(U) supremo and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to take serious note of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Sainis remarks on the future CM of Bihar, deputy chief minister and senior BJP leader Samrat Choudhary clarified on Monday that Nitish would continue to lead the NDA alliance for the next term. Speaking at the launch of Dr Ambedkar Samagra Seva Abhiyan, Choudhary reiterated that the upcoming assembly elections would be fought under Nitishs leadership. He will continue to serve as chief minister for the next term as well, he said, adding that the NDA government under Nitishs leadership would take the state forward. Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini had on Sunday sparked controversy by projecting Choudhary as Bihars future CM during an event in Gurgaon. TheBJPs victory march should continue from Haryana to Bihar. The flag of victory would be unfurled in Bihar by Samrat Choudhary, Saini said. Reacting to Saini's remark, Tejashwi Yadav said on Monday, The JD(U) must take serious note of the comment. Saini is a member of the BJP national executive. He appears to have revealed what the party's top leadership has decided, but is not making public. It is now clear that the BJP is unwilling to let Nitish continue as CM. Already he seems to be powerless. His persona is being used as a mask and the JD(U) is being run by people like (Union minister) Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan and (working president) Sanjay Kumar Jha, both of whom have sold themselves to the BJP,he added. Countering Tejashwis allegations, Choudhary said, The NDA government is united and will contest the assembly elections under Nitishs leadership. He is and will remain the face of NDA in Bihar. JD(U), a major ally of the BJP, also tried to downplay the controversy, saying that there is no doubt over Nitishs leadership in the assembly elections. Top leaders of BJP have already said that Nitish Kumar will remain the face of NDA in Bihar and will continue to serve as CM for the next term as well, JD(U) MLC Neeraj Kumar said. Samrat Choudary during his speech, also reacted to Tejashwi Yadav's allegations that BJP was anti-Dalit and anti-reservation. Referring to Tejashwis claim that two universities were created out of the approval of 10 universities under the RJD regime, Choudhary said that altogether 23 universities were built under Nitishs regime. This is a reality, and anybody can check it from the records of the state government, he added. Highlighting the objective behind the launch of Dr Ambedkar Samagra Seva Abhiyan, the deputy chief minister said that it was aimed at fulfilling Ambedkar's dreams of inclusive development. Under the campaign, Dalits hamlets would be provided basic amenities like drains, connecting roads and potable water. The officials concerned will also verify whether the people living in Dalit hamlets were getting benefits of Ujjwala Yojna and Ayushman Bharat. If any lapses are found, corrective measures will be taken immediately, he asserted.

'She had herself invited trouble': Allahabad High Court grants bail to accused in rape case
LUCKNOW: The Allahabad High Court has granted bail to a rape accused, observing that the rape survivor had herself invited trouble and was responsible for the alleged act of rape on her. The accused was arrested in December, 2024, for the alleged rape of the woman pursuing MA from Amity University, Noida campus, and has been in prison since then. The accused had met the young woman at a bar in Hauz Khas, Delhi. The survivor had alleged that the accused, whom she met at a bar, raped her twice at his relative's flat after she had agreed to go to his place to rest, as she, accompanied by both her girl and boy friends, got heavily intoxicated and needed support after consuming alcohol at the bar till 3 am. This court is of the view that even if the allegation of the victim is accepted as true, then it can also be concluded that she herself invited trouble and was also responsible for the same. Similar stand has been taken by the victim in her statement. In her medical examination, her hymen was found torn but doctor did not give any opinion about the sexual assault, Justice Sanjay Kumar Singh observed, while allowing the bail plea of the accused. The court held that as a student of post graduation, the victim was competent enough to understand the morality and significance of her act as disclosed by her in the first information report (FIR). Essentially, as per the victim's version, she, of her own volition, went to a bar in Delhi along with three female friends, where they consumed alcohol, due to which she became intoxicated. The victim further claimed that she remained at the bar until around 3 am and during her time there, the accused kept on insisting that she accompanied him to his house. As she was in need of support due to her condition, she agreed to go with him to rest. SC stays Allahabad HC's order on rape case, says observations depict total insensitiveness, inhuman approach However, she alleged that the accused touched her inappropriately on the way and instead of taking her to his residence in Noida, as she had expected, he took her to a relative's flat in Gurgaon, where he committed rape on her. While the incident allegedly took place on September 21, 2024, the victim got an FIR lodged in this connection on September 23,2024 at police station Sector -126 at Gautam Budh Nagar district. She got the named FIR lodged against the accused. Meanwhile, seeking bail in the case, the accused moved the Allahabad High Court, wherein, his counsel argued that even if all the allegations were taken to be true, it could be a case of consensual relationship between the parties concerned rather than being a case of rape. It was also argued that the accused, with no criminal record, had been in the jail since December 2024 and if granted a bail, he would not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate in the early disposal of the case. On the other hand, the additional government advocate for the state opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant in the light of the FIR, but he did not dispute the above mentioned factual aspect of the matter as argued on behalf of the applicant. Against the backdrop of these submissions, Justice Sanjay Singh in its order dated March 11, 2025, granted bail to the accused applicant Nischal Chandak while saying: Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused and submissions of the counsel for the parties, I am of the view that the applicant has made out a fit case for bail. Hence, the bail application is hereby allowed. Such a ruling has no place in society: Union WCD Minister Annapurna Devi on Allahabad HC order

Traffic mess: Plans afloat to unclog Delhi-Gurugram NH-48
NEW DELHI: With daily commuters facing harrowing time due to massive traffic jams, a new entry-exit arrangement at four locations on a carriageway of National Highway-48 connecting Delhi to Gurugram has been proposed. The National Highway Authority of India and Delhi Traffic Police have carried out separate studies and proposed steps to decongest the crucial stretch for commuters from Delhi to Gurugram, according to sources. The four locations are in Mahipalpur, Shiv Murti and two points at Shankar Vihar. To decongest the stretch between Gurgaon Road-Parade Road crossing and Shiv Murti, it has been proposed that only exit points should be made at Shankar Vihar and Mahipalpur, officials privy to the development told this newspaper. The other two points - Shankar Vihar and Shiv Murti - can serve as an entry points. Around three lakh commuters, mostly office-goers, use the NH-48 every day. The commuters say it takes one hour to cover the 6.9-km stretch during peak hours, with the bottleneck near Shiv Murti causing huge problem. The spillover traffic from Shankar Vihar hits the area near Dhaula Kuan and also Rao Tula Ram Marg till Vasant Vihar. There are three main locations on NH-48 where the traffic is particularly bad. For example, Shankar Vihar doesnt have separate entry and exit points, thus choking the stretch and piling up of vehicles. Now, an exit point has been planned on the stretch, with an entry point being ahead. Similar is the situation in Mahipalpur where there is no separate entry and exit point. The area is close to the IGI Airport and dotted with budget hotels. It has now been suggested that the stretch be made only exit point. A separate provision has been proposed near Shiv Murti from where vehicles can enter the highway.
