Lok Sabha elections 2019: In the 2015 Bihar Assembly polls, the Grand Alliance of JD-U, RJD and Congress had defeated the BJP-led NDA.

Tejashwi had earlier claimed that Nitish Kumar was feeling "uncomfortable" in the BJP-led NDA. He, however, stressed that  "the door is closed" for his return to the grand alliance.

Bihar Governor Satya Pal Malik said that officers have been deputed in Raj Bhavan and given special telephone numbers for attending such complaints and helping the victims.

Speaking to reporters here, the JD(U) leader also sought to distance himself from assertions by some leaders that his party be acknowledged as "big brother" in the coalition comprising BJP, LJP and RLSP within the state.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav had said that RLSP chief had no place in the NDA and hinted that the Union minister would be welcomed if he chose to switch sides and join the RJD-led grand alliance in Bihar.

According to reports, the Bihar government has written a letter to the Centre requesting it to notify khaini as a food product by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).

In Delhi for an official event, the Bihar BJP leader said he did not see any contradiction in the JD(U)'s stand as Kumar, as the chief minister, had been the NDA's leader earlier as well when he was a BJP ally.

The JD(U) core committee met, ahead of the meeting scheduled with BJP, and has decided that Nitish Kumar will be the face of NDA for 2019 General Election.

The JD(U) had gone all alone in the 2014 Lok Sabha poll and won just two sets, it registered an impressive presence in the assembly elections held in 2015 as a part of the Grand Alliance.

Tejashwi said Nitish Kumar, whom he addressed as chacha (uncle) in his tweet, should see it for himself what made people vote in favour of the Mahagathbandhan in 2015.

Jokihat Assembly Bypoll Result: RJD candidate Shahnawaz Alam defeated Murshid Alam of JD(U) by over 41,000 votes, Deputy Chief Electoral Officer Baiju Nath Kumar said.

Slamming banks for allegedly helping rich and powerful manage their cash during the note-ban, the Bihar chief minister alleged that some powerful people shifted their cash from one place to another.

The matter reportedly came to light on Friday and further investigation revealed the girl was being promoted as the face of Unicef in Pakistan for education. The issue has embarrassed the government.   

Chaudhary, who was once considered close to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, said he is upset over the government's anti-Dalit approach.

After coming to power for the first time in 2005 heading an NDA coalition of the JD(U) and the BJP, both Kumar and Modi have been members of Bihar's Upper House.  

A total of 11 candidates have filed papers for 11 seats, which will fall vacant next month as the terms of the sitting members will expire.

While the terms of 10 sitting members will end on May 6, one seat fell vacant when Narendra Singh was disqualified on January 6, 2016, ahead of the end of his term on May 6, 2018.

Describing it as a conspiracy by Nitish Kumar and his deputy Sushil Modi, Rabri Devi suspected a foul play in Lalu's deteriorating health ever since he was put behind bars.

Tejashwi interrupted Nitish Kumar when the chief minister was replying to discussion on Home department’s budget and raised the issue of Aurangabad violence.

The RJD registered emphatic victories in Araria Lok Sabha and Jehanabad assembly seats yesterday. The BJP was defeated in Araria though it succeeded in winning Bhabhua assembly seat.
