NDA confident of winning all eight MLC seats: Bihar BJP chief Sanjay Saraogi
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 24 (IANS) The BJP on Saturday expressed confidence that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would win all eight seats in the biennial Bihar Legislative Council elections, with vote counting scheduled for October 27. Speaking to IANS, Bihar BJP President Sanjay Saraogi said the alliance was confident of securing victory in all eight constituencies, citing its efforts to address the concerns of teachers and graduates. We are fully confident that the NDA will win all eight seats. The NDA has already won three of these seats, or four if we include the Independent. We expect to perform very well, and it would not be surprising if we win all eight seats. These elections involve teacher and graduate voters, and we have sincerely worked to address their concerns, Saraogi said. JD(U) National Spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan also expressed confidence in the alliances performance, attributing the expected outcome to the popularity of its leaders and the state governments work. The NDA has performed exceptionally well, receiving strong support from voters across all constituencies. Voters have credited the NDA for the achievements of JD(U) national president and former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the past 20 years. Prime Minister Narendra Modis immense popularity and the good work done by the state government under Samrat Choudharys leadership in a short period have created a positive atmosphere. We are heading towards victory in all eight seats, Ranjan said. Polling for the eight seats in the Bihar Legislative Council was held on Friday. The four graduates constituencies recorded a voter turnout of 43.87 per cent, while the four teachers constituencies registered 74.55 per cent polling. Minor scuffles between supporters of candidates were reported at several places. Among the graduates constituencies, Kosi recorded the highest turnout at 52.51 per cent. Patna, which attracted considerable attention following a dispute between Independent MLA Anant Singh and incumbent MLC Neeraj Kumar, registered the lowest turnout at 36.19 per cent despite the pre-election controversy. Tirhut and Darbhanga recorded polling of 42.15 per cent and 42 per cent, respectively. Among the teachers constituencies, Saran recorded the highest turnout at 87.16 per cent, while Patna registered the lowest at 56.89 per cent. Darbhanga and Tirhut recorded voter turnouts of 79 per cent and 78.10 per cent, respectively. The counting of votes will take place on October 27, when the electoral outcome in all eight constituencies will become clear.

Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 23 (IANS) Polling for eight Bihar Legislative Council seats concluded at 4 pm on Friday, with the four teachers constituencies recording a higher voter turnout than the four graduate constituencies. According to Election Commission data, turnout stood at 43.87% in the graduate constituencies and 74.55% in the teachers constituencies as of 4 pm. Polling began at 8 am and continued until 4 pm. A total of 150 candidates were in the fray for the eight seats, with the counting of votes scheduled for October 27. Among the graduate constituencies, Patna recorded a turnout of 36.19%, Tirhut 42.15%, Darbhanga 42% and Kosi 52.51%. Kosi registered the highest turnout among the four graduate constituencies, while Patna recorded the lowest. In the teachers constituencies, Saran recorded the highest turnout at 87.16%, followed by Darbhanga at 79%, Tirhut at 78.10% and Patna at 56.89%. The overall turnout in the teachers constituencies was substantially higher than in the graduate constituencies. Meanwhile, RJD leader and Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav expressed confidence that his party would win all eight seats, claiming that its candidates were receiving positive feedback from voters. He also alleged electoral irregularities, including vote theft, the presence of fake voters and fraudulent voting. Tejashwi further accused the administration of using money and government machinery to influence the election. These allegations were not independently verified. On the other hand, incumbent BJP MLC and candidate Naval Kishore Yadav expressed confidence in retaining the Patna Teachers Constituency seat. After casting his vote at DAV School in Rajvanshi Nagar, Patna, he predicted a decisive victory, using the cricketing metaphor of hitting a six. Naval Kishore Yadav said teachers in Patna had consistently supported him and pointed out that he had won the seat five consecutive times over a period of 30 years. He expressed confidence that the teaching community would back him again. The BJP candidate further claimed that his opponents would lose their security deposits and that his victory margin would be larger than in previous elections. He alleged that his opponents were making baseless accusations because of the support he enjoyed among teachers. With polling now over, attention has shifted to the counting of votes on October 27, when the electoral fortunes of all 150 candidates will be decided.

Bihar: Anant Singh supporter Chhotu Singh detained in Patna amid MLC polling
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 23 (IANS) Police detained Chhotu Singh, a supporter of Mokama MLA Anant Singh, in Patna on Friday amid polling for eight Bihar Legislative Council seats. The District Intelligence Unit (DIU) team reportedly apprehended him from the Karbigahiya area under the jurisdiction of the Jakkanpur police station over concerns about a possible law-and-order situation. He was subsequently handed over to the local police for further action. The detention comes amid heightened security arrangements during the Legislative Council elections. However, an official statement detailing the reasons for his detention and the further action taken against him was awaited. Earlier on Friday, a confrontation broke out near a polling station in Mokama between supporters of JD(U) candidate Neeraj Kumar and those of Anuj Kumar Singh, who is backed by Anant Singh and is contesting on a Jan Suraaj Party ticket. The dispute reportedly began with a heated verbal exchange between the two groups and escalated into a commotion, prompting police intervention. Barh SDPO Ramkrishna reached the spot with a police team, dispersed the crowd and detained three to four people, who were taken to the police station. The incident occurred during polling for the Patna Graduates Constituency. JD(U) has fielded Neeraj Kumar as its official candidate, while Anant Singh, a JD(U) MLA from Mokama, is supporting Anuj Kumar Singh of the Jan Suraaj Party. Anant Singhs support for a candidate other than his partys official nominee has sparked discussion about political equations in the constituency and possible differences within the JD(U). The election for the Patna Graduates' constituency has drawn attention this time not only due to the candidacies involved but also because of the political backing and local dynamics at play. The role of Anant Singh in the contest between Neeraj Kumar and Anuj Kumar Singh has further intensified the electoral atmosphere. Amidst heated political rhetoric and clashes between opposing supporters, the outcome will only be revealed once the votes are counted.

'Fearing freedom': Shiv Sena(UBT) criticises Centre over CJP activists' arrest in 'Saamana'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 23 (IANS) Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray on Friday accused the BJP government at the Centre of suffering from 'deep insecurity' and establishing a virtual Police Raj in the country. The party criticised the arrest and seven-day detention of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) youth activists Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, who were jailed for carrying the National Flag and protesting peacefully at Delhis historic Jantar Mantar against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The Thackray camp, in an editorial in the party's mouthpiece, Samaana, questioned whether the government is afraid of peaceful democratic protests or terrified of young citizens holding the Indian National Flag. It condemned the government for systematically seizing public protest venues -- from Mumbai and Delhi to Patna, Lucknow, and Kolkata -- denouncing it as the outright choking of democracy. Pointing out a stark contrast, the editorial highlighted that while courts lecture idealist youths holding the Tricolour, justice appears surprisingly lenient towards perpetrators of grave crimes, citing the case of rape-convicted former politician Kuldeep Sengar, whose sentence was suspended by a judge on the bench. The editorial criticised the administration for using uniformed forces and political loyalists to suppress dissent, asserting that politicians once faced protesters directly, whereas the current regime hides behind barricades, police forces, and court injunctions. The editorial detailed how CJP activists Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were locked up in Tihar Jail after defying prohibitory orders issued by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who unilaterally removed Jantar Mantar from the list of approved protest sites. The children did not go to Jantar Mantar to play 'Dandiya'; they went to raise their voice against corrupt electoral practices. If the government were truly generous and democratic, would it lock down Jantar Mantar? Asking protesters to seek government permission before rallying against state injustice is absurd -- would a despotic regime ever grant permission for a protest against itself? questioned the editorial. Refuting arguments that unscrupulous elements might infiltrate public rallies -- a rationale cited to justify police clearances -- the Thackeray camp pointed out that prominent leaders such as Sonam Wangchuk, opposition MPs, and Parakala Prabhakar (the economist and husband of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman) have all taken to the streets. Are these individuals also 'troublemakers'? the editorial asked, alleging that actual violence stems from government-backed elements clad in khaki executing crackdowns on students. Expressing deep disappointment over the High Courts lecturing young idealists about student unrest in France or Albania, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena urged the judiciary to look at the root cause rather than the symptoms. The editorial asserted that the policy under the current leadership has become clear -- citizens must not ask questions, nor should they demand accountability. The editorial concluded that when a government begins fearing peaceful, nation-loving youths holding the Tricolour, it signals not strength but the peak of political paranoia -- a phenomenon uniquely characteristic of the Modi-Shah administration.

Bihar govt sets target of AI training for 5 lakh students in five years
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 22 (IANS) The Bihar government has set a target of providing Artificial Intelligence (AI) training to five lakh students over the next five years to enhance their employability and prepare them for emerging technological demands. Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary chaired a review meeting on the proposed Bihar Artificial Intelligence Policy 2026 at Sankalp Hall in Lok Sevak Awas on Thursday, where officials discussed measures to promote AI-based innovation, attract investment and generate employment opportunities in the state. During the meeting, Choudhary stressed the need to create a conducive environment for AI companies, startups and digital enterprises to establish and expand their operations in Bihar. The initiative aims to develop the state as a hub for emerging technologies and digital innovation while opening new avenues of employment for young people. The Bihar government is also exploring incentives to encourage investment in the development of advanced AI technologies, including large-scale AI models. Officials discussed the need to strengthen the technical infrastructure required to support the sector and promote state-led initiatives to accelerate its growth. Choudhary directed the concerned department to constitute a dedicated team to oversee the implementation of the policy and ensure that its targets are achieved within a stipulated timeframe. As part of the initiative, the state government plans to organise a major AI-focused event in Bihar every year for the next five years. The events will bring together technology experts, companies, startups and students to facilitate knowledge-sharing, collaboration and innovation. The proposed Bihar Artificial Intelligence Policy 2026 seeks to promote technological advancement, skill development and digital entrepreneurship while attracting private investment to the state. The initiative assumes significance as Bihar seeks to expand employment opportunities for its large young population and address concerns over unemployment. By equipping students with AI-related skills, the Bihar government aims to improve their access to emerging job opportunities and encourage them to pursue technology-based entrepreneurial ventures. The policy is expected to focus on building the state's AI ecosystem through industry participation, improved infrastructure and targeted training programmes. The state government aims to use these measures to strengthen Bihar's digital economy and create new opportunities for its youth over the coming five years.
