CM Naidus investment summits are publicity stunts: YSRCP
Digital Desk | Tadepalli (Andhra Pradesh), Nov 12 (IANS) YSR Congress Party leader and former minister Gudivada Amarnath slammed Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Minister Nara Lokesh for turning investment summits into taxpayer-funded publicity events, recycling massive investment figures without delivering actual investments or jobs. Addressing the media at the YSRCP Central Office here, Amarnath said Naidu had announced 23 lakh crore in investments and 40 lakh jobs during 201419, but barely 12% materialised. After announcing 12 lakh crore in MoUs at the November 2025 summit, the government is again projecting 12 lakh crore in investments and 20 lakh jobs at the current summit, he said. He challenged the government to release documentary evidence showing how many agreements signed in 2025 were grounded, how many companies commenced production and how many jobs were created. He demanded that company-wise employment details be displayed at every village and ward secretariat, questioning the coalitions unfulfilled promise of 20 lakh jobs in five years. Amarnath said the government was claiming credit for projects initiated and developed during Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddys tenure, including Ramayapatnam, Mulapeta and Machilipatnam ports, Bhogapuram International Airport, ten fishing harbours and fish landing centres. He highlighted Jagans contribution to securing three industrial corridors and Andhra Pradeshs top rankings in Ease of Doing Business, contrasting this record with unemployment exceeding the national average. He further charged that over 3,000 acres of valuable Visakhapatnam land, worth 25,00030,000 crore, had been handed over to obscure real estate companies at just 99 paise, without generating investment or employment. Amarnath condemned the governments extravagant spending on publicity, event management and social-media influencers, even during natural disasters, and demanded transparency over investment commitments, land allocations and actual job creation. Meanwhile, YSRCP leaders Devinen Avinash, Malladi Vishnu and Dodda Anji Reddy lodged a complaint with Vijayawada Cyber Crime Police, submitting evidence of derogatory and abusive remarks made against women and YS Jagan Mohan Reddys family during a Jana Sena-linked X Space discussion. They demanded immediate action against those responsible. YSRCP NTR District President Devineni Avinash challenged Chandrababu Naidu, Pawan Kalyan and Nara Lokesh to confront YS Jagan politically instead of targeting his family. Questioning their claims about womens safety, he demanded action against party workers abusing women online. Former MLA Malladi Vishnu said the complaint contained account details, timestamps, phone numbers and evidence identifying the participants. He demanded police action within 24 hours, warning of a statewide protest programme otherwise. He recalled YS Jagans directive against discussing political opponents personal lives and criticised the government for failing to protect women and students while targeting opposition social media posts.

Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 12 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Bihar's Alinagar Assembly constituency, Maithili Thakur, has refuted land encroachment allegations against her family and challenged those making the accusations to produce evidence, saying that the claims will otherwise amount to defamation. A controversy erupted after locals in Thakur's village in Darbhanga district accused her and her father, Ramesh Thakur, of illegally occupying public and private properties. Speaking to IANS, Maithili Thakur, who is purportedly the state's youngest MLA, termed the allegations as aseless rumours. Neither my family nor I have anything to do with any government land. Much is being said about my family and me, such as 'land mafia' and 'grabbing land from the poor', on social media, she said. The BJP MLA said that if there is any truth to these allegations, those making them should come forward with proof, as otherwise ordinary people reading such reports may develop the wrong impression. Anyone who has doubts can verify all land registrations and related documents with the Circle Officer or at the DCLR office, she said. Thakur added that using such unfounded allegations as a public relations stunt is a serious matter for her and her family. This is a democracy, and everyone has the freedom to express their views, which I respect. But if someone is making allegations, they should support them with facts. Otherwise, these are baseless accusations against me and my family, she stated. Further, the BJP legislator said that so far she has not been able to identify those who are behind these accusations and are making an issue out of the construction of her house to arget her. On the possibility of legal action, Maithili Thakur said the allegations are entirely baseless and amount to defamation. My father would never think along such lines. The people of my constituency and my well-wishers have known me and my family long before I entered politics. They have seen us grow up and know our family closely, Thakur said, adding that she cannot tolerate such cheap allegations and will consider her options at the appropriate time.

Bihar: Rohini Acharya arrives in Patna for Chhath, says she will meet Nitish Kumar
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 12 (IANS) Rohini Acharya, daughter of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, arrived in Patna on Thursday to celebrate Chhath and used the occasion to comment on state and national politics, targeting the BJP-led government over crime, inflation and other issues. Speaking to reporters at Patna airport, she extended Chhath greetings to the people of Bihar and those observing the festival fast. Asked whether she would meet Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Rohini said she had no hesitation in visiting him, describing him as her uncle. Why wouldn't I go? He is my uncle. Since it is Chhath, I will certainly visit him to partake in the Kharna prasad, she said. On speculation about taking up an active political role or getting a major responsibility in the RJD, she said such decisions rested with the party's top leadership. For now, her focus was on celebrating Chhath, she added. Commenting on the INDIA bloc and opposition unity, Rohini said the political parties concerned would decide the coalition's structure. However, she maintained that all opposition parties must set aside their differences and unite if they wanted to remove the BJP from power. Asked about references to Nitish Kumar in connection with Sonia Gandhi's recently published book, she said she had not read the book yet and would comment only after going through it. Rohini also criticised the state government over the law-and-order situation, alleging that crime was rising across Bihar and pointing to incidents in which police personnel had been killed. She also referred to allegations of land grabbing against people linked to those in power. She cited the silver robbery in Darbhanga and a terrorist attack on security personnel in Jammu and Kashmir while questioning the Centre's policies. Taking a swipe at her critics, Rohini said those who had once questioned Lalu Prasad were now being judged by the public, which could assess the difference between their statements and actions. Meanwhile, when asked about the wedding of the daughter of Mokama MLA Anant Singh, Rohini extended her congratulations and wished the newlywed a happy and prosperous future.

Bihar CM assures permanent bridge between Saran and Ballia
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 12 (IANS) Hopes have been renewed for the construction of a permanent bridge between Bihars Revealganj in Saran district and Sitab Diara in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, as Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has assured that the government will pursue the construction of a permanent bridge instead of a pontoon bridge on the route. The bridge would provide all-weather connectivity between these two districts. The Chief Minister said he would meet Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari to discuss the project and initiate the necessary steps. Choudhary gave the assurance during the inauguration of the Atal Dwar at Jharam Ghat in Saran district on Thursday. During his visit, the Chief Minister also inspected Atal Vatika, Yagyashala and Jeevika Rasoi, which have been developed as part of a rejuvenation initiative at Ram Ghat. He also unveiled a statue of former Prime Minister and Bharat Ratna awardee Atal Bihari Vajpayee and paid floral tribute to him. At the event, local MLA Chhoti Kumari met Choudhary and submitted a memorandum seeking the implementation of three major development projects in the region. Her primary demand was the construction of a permanent bridge between Revelganj and Sitabdiara. She said the project would provide reliable, year-round connectivity to thousands of residents of Saran and Ballia, while strengthening trade, social interaction and economic ties between the two regions. Sitab Diara is located in the Saran district (Chhapra) of Bihar, with parts of the village also extending into the Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh. Responding to the demand, Choudhary assured her that he would take up the matter with Gadkari. As her second demand, the MLA sought expedited construction of a Marine Drive connecting Bishunpura and Revelganj. She said the proposed road would improve regional connectivity and open up new opportunities for development. The third proposal was to include Ahilya Sthan Godna, believed to be the maternal ancestral home of Lord Hanuman, in the Ram Circuit. She said the move would promote religious and cultural tourism and generate employment opportunities for residents. The Chief Ministers assurance has revived hopes among residents, who have long been demanding a permanent bridge to ensure uninterrupted connectivity between the two regions.
Astrobase to invest Rs 800 crore in Andhra Pradesh, expand rocket testing facility to 360 acres
Digital Desk | Visakhapatnam, Nov 12 (IANS) Astrobase Space Technologies on Thursday announced an investment of Rs 800 crore in Andhra Pradesh to significantly expand its rocket testing and launch vehicle development infrastructure, marking a major step in strengthening India's private space transportation ecosystem. The space technology company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board during the 31st CII Partnership Summit 2026 in Visakhapatnam to expand its existing rocket engine testing facility at Thimmasamudram in Sri Sathya Sai district. Under the expansion plan, Astrobase will add 339 acres to its existing facility, increasing the total footprint to around 360 acres from approximately 22 acres at present. Commenting on the development, Astrobase Space Technologies CEO and Co-founder Neeraj Khandelwal said the expansion marks a significant milestone in Astrobase's efforts to build advanced space transportation capabilities from India. This expanded infrastructure will enable us to undertake critical testing programmes, including static hot-fire tests and stage-level hop tests, while accelerating the development of reusable launch vehicle technologies, Khandelwal noted. India has already demonstrated remarkable prowess in space exploration and technology. The next frontier is to translate this strength into the ability to transport payloads to space more frequently, reliably and at scale, he added. The project is expected to generate around 500 direct jobs and nearly 1,000 indirect employment opportunities in the region. The announcement comes shortly after Astrobase unveiled plans to invest Rs 500 crore in Karnataka for a dedicated manufacturing facility in Bengaluru. The proposed unit will house advanced additive manufacturing and fabrication infrastructure, non-destructive testing and quality inspection facilities, along with engine and stage assembly capabilities to support the development of its Everest engine and AB220 medium-lift launch vehicle programme.

Man surrenders after slitting his wife's throat in Bihar's Jamalpur
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 12 (IANS) A man allegedly murdered his wife by slitting her throat with a sharp-edged weapon in Bihar's Jamalpur city and subsequently surrendered to the police, police said on Thursday. The incident took place near the Sadar Bazar police outpost late Wednesday night, triggering panic in the locality and leaving the deceased's family devastated. The couple has two young daughters who have now lost their mother. The deceased has been identified as Pooja Devi, while the accused husband is Dashrath Mandal, a resident of Dashrathpur under Dharhara police station limits. Mandal had earlier worked as a loco pilot with the Railways before taking voluntary retirement. According to reports, Pooja and Dashrath got married in 2015. However, disputes reportedly began between them a few years after their marriage, frequently leading to arguments and altercations. Attempts by family members to resolve the differences failed, and the matter had also reached the police station on an earlier occasion. Shubham Kumar, the deceased's brother, alleged that his sister had been facing mental and physical harassment for a long time. He claimed that she was assaulted around a year ago, following which a complaint was lodged at the police station. However, the two sides later reached a compromise. Around 12.30 a.m. on Thursday, Jamalpur police informed Pooja's brother about her murder. Her family members rushed to the spot and found her lying in a pool of blood with her throat slit. After committing the alleged crime, Dashrath surrendered to the police. Following the incident, police personnel and a Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team reached the spot. The forensic team examined the crime scene and collected evidence. Police also recovered the sharp-edged weapon allegedly used in the murder. The body was subsequently sent to Sadar Hospital for a post-mortem examination. The Jamalpur SHO confirmed that the accused had surrendered and that the weapon had been recovered. Police are investigating all aspects of the case to establish the motive behind the murder.

Coast Guard rescues three ridleys from ghost net off Andhra coast
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Nov 11 (IANS) The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) rescued three endangered Olive Ridley turtles entangled in a ghost net off the Nizampatnam coast in Andhra Pradesh during a scheduled surveillance patrol, before releasing them safely back into the sea. The crew of ICG's Rani Rashmoni spotted the trapped turtles adrift in marine debris and deployed a Gemini inflatable boat to reach them. Coast Guard personnel carefully cut through the abandoned net to free the turtles, which were believed to be travelling toward their primary nesting sites along the Odisha coastline. Through these rescues, ICG reaffirms its commitment to protecting the ocean and the marine ecosystem, the maritime force stated in an official release. Every year, the Coast Guard executes a specialised marine protection initiative known as Operation Olivia to safeguard hundreds of thousands of turtles arriving at mass nesting grounds across eastern coastal waters. The nesting cycle along the Odisha coast begins annually between November and December, extending through April and May, with mass nesting typically observed between late January and early February. Conservation efforts for the species gained momentum following the discovery and international recognition of the Gahirmatha rookery near the mouth of the Brahmani-Baitarani (Dhamra) River in 1974. Subsequent mass nesting sites were identified at the Devi River mouth in 1981 and at the Rushikulya River mouth in 1994. During the breeding season, female Olive Ridleys select narrow estuarine beaches and bays to lay between 100 and 140 eggs per clutch. However, the species faces severe survival threats from unregulated coastal development, tourist exploitation, illegal egg harvesting, and marine poaching for meat, shells, and leather. The most catastrophic threat remains accidental mortality caused by mechanised fishing trawlers, gill nets, and trawl nets. Thousands of adult turtles have historically succumbed to drowning after becoming trapped in commercial fishing gear operating around nesting corridors during mating periods. All five sea turtle species found in Indian waters, including the Olive Ridley, are granted strict statutory protection under Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, as well as Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). To mitigate threats throughout the six-month nesting cycle, the Indian Coast Guard enforces seasonal fishing bans near designated rookeries, conducts net inspections on commercial vessels, and leads regional environmental awareness drives.

The Chief Minister urged the UAE Minister to facilitate an early decision on the proposed food cluster. He also highlighted the investment potential in sectors such as maritime, aerospace and defence and called upon UAE companies to make use of the opportunities available in the State. Meanwhile, the Chief Minister also met World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Director General Daren Tang to explore ways to secure international recognition for innovation, research and creativity in Andhra Pradesh and enhance awareness of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) among startups and entrepreneurs in the State.

The Chief Minister sought WIPOs support in securing Geographical Indication (GI) tags for the States handloom products, handicrafts and other local products. He also requested assistance in expanding markets for existing GI-tagged products and taking their quality standards and branding to the international level. Chandrababu Naidu said the State Government was encouraging young entrepreneurs and supporting startup companies through the Ratan Tata Innovation Hub.

The team conducted a raid at around 2 a.m. on Wednesday and found 435 cartons of liquor stocked at the premises. The estimated market value of the seized consignment is around Rs 50 lakh. During the investigation, police found that the liquor bottles carried labels indicating that they were meant for sale in Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana. The four arrested accused have been identified as Devaram, Bishnaram, Dayaram and Dinesh Kumar. All are residents of the Sindhari police station area in Rajasthan's Barmer district. Police have taken the four men into custody for questioning to ascertain the source of the consignment and identify those who were supposed to receive and distribute the liquor in Bihar. Following the raid, the premises used for storing the liquor were sealed. Investigators are now attempting to establish the entire smuggling network and identify other people involved in the illegal trade, including suspected links in Bihar and other states. Police said further action would be taken based on the information obtained during the interrogation of the arrested accused. The accused have been booked under the relevant sections of the liquor prohibition act. They will be produced in the district court on Thursday for further legal proceedings. Liquor has been banned in Bihar since April 2016 after the then Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took the decision.

Chitragupta Puja, Bhai Dooj celebrated with fervour in city
Chhath rush: Indian Railways rolls out massive preparations as thousands head home
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS) With Chhath Puja approaching, railway stations across the country are witnessing a massive surge in passenger footfall as thousands of people head to their hometowns in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh to celebrate the festival with their families. From Delhi and Mumbai to Varanasi, Howrah, Lucknow and other major railway hubs, crowds of passengers can be seen gathering at platforms and station premises, creating an unprecedented rush during the festive travel period. In view of the heavy passenger movement, Indian Railways has stepped up its preparations, introducing a series of measures aimed at ensuring safe, smooth and organised travel. Several arrangements have been made at several stations to manage the festive rush. These include special trains, additional reserved and unreserved services, designated passenger holding areas, enhanced security arrangements, and round-the-clock monitoring. The huge rush is particularly visible at Delhi's Anand Vihar Railway Station and New Delhi Railway Station. Large numbers of passengers are gathering to board trains at these stations to their hometowns ahead of Chhath Puja. Passengers carrying luggage and travelling with their families can be seen waiting for trains. Many of these passengers are opting for general-class tickets. Some passengers acknowledged that the arrangements were satisfactory. However, some pointed to the massive crowds at the station. Passengers expressed satisfaction with the improved infrastructure and crowd-management arrangements at New Delhi Railway Station. One passenger told IANS that the creation of separate areas helped reduce congestion compared with previous years. This is how the station experience is considerably better, he added. The tremendous pressure on railway infrastructure during the festive season has been analysed by the railways. The Northern Railway has announced the operation of 31 special trains from major stations in the Delhi area to facilitate passenger movement on a high-demand travel day. Officials said that additional reserved and unreserved services are also being operated on important routes to accommodate the increased demand. Central Railway has introduced precautionary measures at major stations in Mumbai to prevent overcrowding. Unhindered passenger movement is being ensured. According to Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Swapnil Nila, the sale of platform tickets has been suspended at major stations across its divisions, broadly between November 5 and 15, depending on the location. Moreover, parcel traffic has been suspended for around eight to ten days at key stations, including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT). The move is intended to free up space and prevent congestion so that passengers boarding and alighting from trains do not face inconvenience. Special arrangements have been made at Varanasi Junction to deal with the anticipated increase in passenger footfall. The Railways have established a dedicated holding area where passengers can wait in an organised manner before boarding their respective trains. Help desks have also been set up at both entry gates to assist passengers and provide necessary information. Similar arrangements are being implemented across Eastern Railway stations. At Howrah, Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel are continuously monitoring passenger movement through a dedicated control room to ensure effective crowd management. TTEs and RPF staff are working in close coordination to regulate queues, guide passengers towards their designated coaches and facilitate systematic boarding. A specially designated passenger holding area with carpeted flooring has also been created at Howrah Station to provide Chhath-bound passengers with a more comfortable waiting experience. A medical booth has been made available to provide immediate medical assistance to passengers in need. The festive atmosphere is also being reflected at railway stations. At Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction in Chandauli, traditional Chhath songs are being played through loudspeakers, bringing a touch of the festival to the railway premises. Passengers have welcomed the initiative, with many appreciating the festive ambience as they begin their journey home. Holding areas have also been created at stations such as Ballia to ensure that passengers can wait safely without overcrowding platforms. Travellers have expressed gratitude for these facilities, acknowledging the efforts being made by railway authorities to improve passenger convenience. Across the network, the Railways is also relying on AI-enabled CCTV surveillance, additional security personnel and coordinated monitoring to keep a close watch on passenger movement. These measures are intended to identify potential congestion points, regulate crowds and ensure that boarding and alighting take place in a controlled manner. The Railways has also expanded festive connectivity through additional reserved and unreserved special services. Unreserved special trains are being operated between Muzaffarpur and Howrah, as well as Jaynagar and Sealdah, to cater to the large number of passengers travelling towards Bihar, West Bengal and adjoining regions. Special services from Mumbai towards Gorakhpur are also providing relief to passengers travelling home. Travellers aboard the CSMT-Gorakhpur special train have appreciated the seating facilities and arrangements, expressing satisfaction with the efforts of Central Railway. The festive travel arrangements also include additional services towards Patna, including Vande Bharat and other special trains, alongside enhanced crowd-management measures. Passengers have acknowledged the availability of additional trains and improved station facilities, particularly during the busy Chhath travel period. As millions of devotees prepare to return home to observe Chhath Puja, one of the most significant festivals in Bihar, eastern Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring regions, the challenge before the Railways is not merely to run additional trains but also to manage the enormous crowds gathering at stations. With passengers travelling with families, children and heavy luggage, even routine boarding and alighting operations can become challenging during peak hours, say officials. The creation of holding areas, suspension of platform ticket sales at selected stations, temporary restrictions on parcel traffic, enhanced security deployment, and dedicated passenger assistance facilities are therefore crucial to maintaining order, they add. The Railways has urged passengers to rely on official railway announcements and information rather than rumours or misleading social media reports regarding train services and festive arrangements.

CBI court convicts former Punjab DSP in 1992 Amrik Singh abduction case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS) A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Punjab's Mohali on Wednesday convicted former Punjab Police Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Gurmeet Singh in the 1992 abduction case of Amrik Singh. The case originated from a Supreme Court order dated November 15, 1995, in a civil writ petition number 497 filed in the year 1995 (Paramjeet Kaur vs State of Punjab), following an affidavit submitted by Devinder Singh regarding the abduction of his father Amrik Singh on November 25, 1992, from Hotel Amaltash in Ludhiana by a Punjab Police team led by the then DSP Gurmeet Singh. Initially, a preliminary inquiry was registered, followed by the registration of a regular case on February 23, 2000. After completing the investigation, the CBI filed a charge sheet on November 27, 2001, against five police officials -- DSP Gurmeet Singh, DSP Parminderjit Singh, Station House Officer (SHO) Suba Singh, Sub-Inspector (SI) Surinder Singh and Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Jaswant Singh. Charges were framed against them on April 15, 2004. After the conclusion of the trial, the court on Wednesday convicted former DSP Gurmeet Singh under Sections 365 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Co-accused DSP Parminderjit Singh was acquitted, while proceedings against the remaining three accused -- SHO Suba Singh, SI Surinder Singh and ASI Jaswant Singh -- were abated following their deaths. The court is scheduled to pronounce the quantum of sentence against the convicted former DSP on November 12. Earlier on November 7, the CBI had arrested an Assistant Director of the Plant Quarantine Station (PQS), Visakhapatnam, along with a private individual in an alleged bribery case involving the clearance of imported containers. The accused were identified as Sudhakara T.M., Assistant Director and In-charge of the Plant Quarantine Station (PQS), and Sunkavalli Satyanarayana, a private individual who allegedly acted as an intermediary. According to the CBI, a case was registered on November 6 against two PQS officials, including the Assistant Director, three private individuals and unidentified persons.
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 11 (IANS) The Janata Dal-United (JD-U), taking strong exception to former Congress President Sonia Gandhi's portrayal of Nitish Kumar in her memoir, said on Wednesday that the former Bihar Cghief Minister was in fact the chief architect of INDIA bloc and he was the key player who brought the rival factions together under one umbrella. Sanjay Kumar Jha, JD-U's National Working President, speaking to news reporters in Patna, rejected Sonia Gandhi's claims in her memoir 'Belonging: A Journey of Love' and said that a new culture has emerged within the Congress, where senior party leaders make personal and highly trivial remarks against politicians who have dedicated their entire lives to the service of the nation and their state. The claims in the memoir that Nitish Kumar left the 'INDIA' alliance for flimsy reasons was outrightly baseless and fallacious, he said. Calling out Congress' duplicity, Sanjay Kumar Jha also referred to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's recent distasteful and derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at an event in Patna. It was Nitish Kumar who laid the foundation for INDIA alliance, it was through his initiative and the trust placed in him that the opposition parties came together, the JD-U National working President said, while adding that the former Bihar Chief Minister travelled across the country to bring various opposition leaders together, and the first meeting of the alliance was also held in Patna at his initiative. JD-U's response came in response to Sonia Gandhi's assertions in her autobiography that Nitish Kumar was looking for an opportunity to exit the INDIA bloc and was under the control of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Responding to the claims, Sanjay Kumar Jha said that the INDIA alliance lacked any coherent policy, ideology, or clear vision for the country and discussions in the meetings were focused solely on targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and engaging in rhetoric against him. Highlighting that Nitish Kumar was put in prison for two years, during the Congress-imposed Emergency, the JD-U National Working President said that it is deeply regrettable that such petty and personal remarks have been made about a senior leader of his stature. Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, the JD-U National Spokesperson also accused the Congress veteran Sonia Gandhi of misleading the readers with unverified information, regarding INDIA bloc and unceremonious exit of Nitish Kumar from the alliance. He said that initially, many regional parties apprehensive and opposed to joining the Congress-led alliance and it was Nitish Kumar who convinced them to join hands with the grand old party. He (Nitish Kumar) brought the parties together, following which the first meeting of the INDIA alliance was also held in Patna, Prasad said. He noted that it was because of Congress and allies' competing ambitions and regional political interests that Nitish Kumar saw it unable to mount a challenge to the NDA and eventually exited. The role of the Congress and its allies, their ambitions and regional political interests made it clear that they did not have the capacity to take on the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). That is why Nitish Kumar left the INDIA bloc, Prasad said.

Sonia Gandhi's remarks on Nitish Kumar trigger political row in Bihar; JD(U) hits back at Congress
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 11 (IANS) A political controversy has erupted in Bihar following remarks by Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) Chairperson, Sonia Gandhi, about former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his exit from the INDIA Bloc, with the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) accusing the Congress of overlooking his contribution to Opposition unity. JD(U) National Working President and Rajya Sabha MP, Sanjay Kumar Jha, criticised the Congress, saying it was unfair to ignore the role played by Nitish Kumar in bringing Opposition parties together. Jha said Nitish Kumar had taken the initiative to unite Opposition leaders, personally reached out to political parties across the country and built trust among them. He also played a key role in organising the first meeting of the INDIA Bloc in Patna. Jha argued that portraying Nitish Kumar's departure from an alliance meeting as being driven by trivial reasons diminished his contribution to the formation of the Opposition coalition. He said the circumstances that eventually led Nitish Kumar to leave the INDIA Bloc should also be discussed rather than focussing only on his decision. The controversy has intensified following the release of Sonia Gandhi's 544-page memoir, 'Belonging: A Journey of Love', on November 10. Published in India by HarperCollins, the book traces her personal journey and her experiences in Indian politics. The account also revisits the formation of the INDIA Bloc and the challenges faced by Opposition parties in maintaining unity ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Nitish Kumar initially played an active role in bringing Opposition parties together but left the Mahagathbandhan in Bihar in January 2024 and returned to the BJP-led NDA, dealing a setback to the Opposition alliance ahead of the general elections. The debate has also brought back into focus remarks reportedly made by Sonia Gandhi during a Congress Working Committee meeting on September 29-30 this year. According to media reports, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh had expressed the view that the party should not have allowed Nitish Kumar to leave the INDIA Bloc, arguing that the political situation could have been different had he remained part of the coalition. Sonia Gandhi reportedly responded that it was fortunate Nitish Kumar had left when he did, adding that he had been looking for an opportunity to exit the alliance. She also alleged that he was under the influence of the BJP. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge reportedly supported this assessment, saying Nitish Kumar had intended to leave the alliance from the beginning and that his efforts to become its convener were part of that political manoeuvring.
