Nitish Kumar Deepens Trust with ‘Half the Population’, Silences Opposition — Will Prashant Kishor Quit Politics Now?

Patna:Ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has delivered a decisive political message by strengthening his long-standing commitment to women empowerment — a move that has not only reinforced the confidence of the state’s “half the population” but also effectively cornered the opposition. During both phases of the ‘Samriddhi Yatra’, one theme consistently dominated the Chief Minister’s speeches — the welfare, dignity and economic independence of women. That focus has now translated into a major cabinet decision. Cabinet Clears ₹2 Lakh Support Under Women Employment Scheme In a crucial cabinet meeting chaired by Nitish Kumar, the Bihar government approved financial assistance of up to ₹2 lakh for beneficiaries under the Chief Minister Women Employment S...

“The 10 Per Cent Will Always Prevail”: RJD Spokesperson Sarika Paswan Slams UGC Regulation as Election Gimmick

Patna:The political storm over the UGC Promotion of Equity Regulation 2026 intensified on Thursday after Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) spokesperson Sarika Paswan launched a fierce attack on the BJP-led central government, calling the regulation a “deliberate election gimmick” aimed at misleading Dalits and backward communities. Reacting sharply to the Supreme Court’s stay on the regulation, Paswan accused the Modi government of surrendering before what she described as the country’s “dominant 10 per cent elite class.” “This outcome was inevitable. In this country, economic, social and political power still rests with a privileged 10 per cent, and the government ultimately bows before them,” she said. ‘A Bill Meant to Mislead the Marginalised’ Terming the UGC regulation a “well-p...

Over the past two days, protests against the regulation have continued in Patna, further intensifying the political atmosphere. Political Crossfire Over UGC Rules RJD leaders launched ...
