Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is poised to be re-elected as leader of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ahead of his historic 10th swearing-in on November 20. This follows the NDA's successful return to power after clinching 202 seats in the 243-member assembly. Kumar, along with other ministers, will take their oaths at Patna's Gandhi Maidan, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other prominent figures expected to attend.
The political atmosphere is rife with tension as intense lobbying unfolds over cabinet berths and the post of Assembly Speaker. Criticism surfaces from Jan Suraaj Party leader Prashant Kishor, who argues that Kumar's success was heavily reliant on pre-election financial incentives offered to constituents.
Alongside this political narrative, a family dispute involving RJD leader Lalu Prasad's daughter, Rohini Acharya, has captured attention. Acharya faces criticism over her kidney donation to her father, challenging detractors to engage in a public debate and urging them to make organ donations in Lalu's name, emphasizing the gravity of these accusations.
