Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Nityanand Rai, on Friday demanded that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar sack RJD leader and state minister Surendra Yadav for his 'objectionable' remark on Army jawans.
In a major controversy, Bihar Co-operative Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Surendra Yadav on Thursday, said that the 'Agniveer' scheme will make the Indian Army a "Hijdon Ki Fauj".
The yatra will be conducted in two phases. The first phase which will start on February 28 will continue till March 6 while the second phase will being on March 15 and will end on March 20, said Kushwaha.
In a huge setback for Bihar Chief Nitish Kumar ahead of the 2024 general elections, Upendra Kushwaha on Monday quit Janata Dal (United) and resigned from all party positions and launched a new political party 'Rashtriya Lok Janata Dal'.
Janata Dal-United (JDU) leader Upendra Kushwaha, who is at loggerheads with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, is all set to form a new political party in Bihar and an announcement for the same is likely to be made today afternoon in Patna.
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Friday took a swipe at the Centre over the survey at the BBC offices and alleged that the BJP is misusing the Central agencies and also attempting to make India a country of Nathuram Godse.
Claiming that the JD(U)-RJD deal rumour has created a turmoil within the party, Khuswaha said "Making Tejashwi CM face will lead to the downfall of the party," he added.
Earlier, Kushwaha had written an open letter to party workers and claimed that JDU is getting weaker due to internal reasons. Despite all the efforts, Kushwaha said his concerns were ignored by Chief Minister Kumar and interpreted incorrectly.
