Bihar: 5 people killed in train accident

Assam Congress President Gaurav Gogoi on Thursday said that he will "try to have a courtesy call" with Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren as the JMM is looking to make an entry into Assam's electoral politics ahead of the Legislative Assembly polls.

"The Election Commission is a constitutional body. Conducting the SIR process is their right. What do these people want? Do they want to win by using the fake votes of Bangladeshis, Rohingyas, infiltrators, the deceased, and those with double entries? This cannot happen. The people of Bengal have the right to the resources of Bengal, not the infiltrators and Bangladeshis," he said.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday said that development work is progressing steadily in the state with the cooperation of the central government.

The MP said, "Long queues can be seen for LPG and petrol in Ranchi, and the public is troubled, thinking what will happen in future", noting that despite government assurances of adequate stocks, "there is no guarantee when the conflict will stop. The government should clarify its foreign policy."

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue and Land Reforms Department Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha, on Tuesday, called the strike by revenue employees and circle officers a "conspiracy."
