Bihar SIR: 3.95 lakh voters not included in Patna
The Election Commission of India on Friday (August 1, 2025) published Bihar's draft electoral roll after the completion of the first phase of its Special Intensive Revision exercise. According to data shared by the office of Bihar's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Vinod Singh Gunjiyal, the State capital Patna has the highest number of 3.95 lakh voters not included in the list. There are more than 3 lakh voters missing from the draft roll in each of the three districts of East Champaran, Madhubani and Gopalganj. Another 10 districts have seen a drop of 2 lakh voters each, while 13 districts saw a decline of more than one lakh voters in the draft roll. Leaders of the Opposition INDIA bloc in the State said the ECI failed to answer their queries about the names left out in the draft list. Detailed data needed: INDIA At a meeting of political parties organised by the Bihar CEO, INDIA bloc leaders asked how many voters whose names are in the 2003 voter list — when the last SIR was conducted — had filled in the current SIR enumeration form, seeking the total number and list of names. They also asked for the registered voter list published on January 7, 2025 to be provided in a pen drive or CD, with the data in an Assembly-wise format. In a memorandum submitted to the Bihar CEO, the INDIA bloc also asked for a detailed Assembly-wise list of those voters who have been removed from the final draft, as well as those who had not yet filled in the enumeration form by the evening of August 2. Noting that the ECI has said that over 22 lakh registered voters have died, the Opposition leaders asked which documents were taken from the relatives of the deceased voters. Similarly, they asked on what basis a number of voters have been declared 'untraceable'. Unanswered questions Rashtriya Janata Dal spokesperson Chittaranjan Gagan said that there was a clear provision in the Election Representation Act that in case of removal of someone's name from the voter list, a notice should be issued to the affected voter. Was this followed in the case of 65 lakh voters whose names have been removed from the list, he asked. 'Has this number come to light in just six months after the final voter list published on January 7, 2025?' the INDIA bloc leaders asked in their memorandum. 'How many voters were provided with receipts during the SIR process in Bihar?' they added. 'No satisfactory answer was given by the Election Commission on this. The INDIA bloc asked the Election Commission how many foreign nationals' names and addresses have been found in the voter list so far. No answer was given to this either,' Mr. Gagan said. Apart from Mr. Gagan, others present at the meeting included Kumar Parvez of the CPI (ML), Sanjay Bharti of the Congress, and Anil Kumar of the Janata Dal (United), as well as representatives of the Bharatiya Janata Party and other political parties.

Deva Katta interview: ‘Mayasabha' is not a biopic of Y S Rajasekhara Reddy or Chandrababu Naidu
Mayasabha: Rise of The Titans, the Telugu web series set to stream on Sony LIV on August 7, has sparked curiosity. The story traces the journeys of two friends who became political opponents in undivided Andhra Pradesh in the mid-1990s. The attire and mannerisms of actor Chaitanya Rao as MS Rami Reddy and Aadhi Pinisetty's portrayal of his character, Kakarla Krishnam Naidu, has evoked comparisons with the former Chief Minister, the late YS Rajasekhara Reddy, and the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N Chandrababu Naidu. However, writer-director Deva Katta asserts that the series is fictional and attempts to portray the evolution of the Telugu States. Edited excerpts from the interview: Mayasabha's premise is bound to make viewers draw real life parallels. To what extent does the story mirror true incidents and personalities? It is possible that the audiences will draw parallels to real life personalities. My intention was to portray the emotions that drive the characters. The idea came from one of our producers who is a huge fan of House of Cards and likes my earlier film, Prasthanam. House of Cards can be perceived as a reflection of the United States' politics but remains relevant outside of it too. Mayasabha looks at the political awakening in the Telugu States since 1975 — the rise and fall of naxalism, factionism, and other aspects. The drama surrounding friendship, families and rivalries has elements of the Mahabharata. Mayasabha presents a ground-level perspective of leaders who rose from a rural background, wanting to be educated, and aspiring to serve the people. For a long time, people of Andhra Pradesh did not experience real democracy. They did not know who would be the next Chief Minister. The candidate was appointed by the head of one national party, almost like how the British appointed a Viceroy. New leaders broke this format. I cannot term Mayasabha a biopic of two leaders since we are limited by our observation and perceptions even if we set out to depict someone's story. The story begins with a political coup and a character's dilemma if he should be opposing his father-in-law. This evokes memories of the tussle between the late NT Rama Rao and Chandrababu Naidu… These are grand events that shaped the State and in turn, our lives. The story is inspired by such incidents. I am sure things would not have transpired as shown in the series — one leader making a phone call to his friend, who is now a political opponent, and seeking guidance. We reach out to a close friend when there is an existential crisis. I wanted to explore the duality of friendship and respectful rivalry that shaped Andhra Pradesh's politics. This incident forms the bridge between the first and second season of the series. Is the title a metaphor to the struggle for power and ambition to reach the Assembly? Mayasabha has connotations to the Mahabharata and can be interpreted as a metaphor to the State Legislative Assembly. An initial title in consideration was Indraprastha, referring to the capital city. But I wanted to break free of any title that would bring back memories of Prasthanam, which is still considered my best work. I want to and hope to do something better than that. Tell us about the research that went into writing the series? I enjoy the research aspect of writing a story the most. My debut film, Vennela, came from my surroundings, basically the life of students. Prasthanam and Republic were backed by a lot of research. I read and listen to multiple points of view, including Amit Varma's podcast Seen and Unseen. All those perspectives have helped give my stories and characters depth. How did you go about writing the caste dynamics to depict situations but not offend any community? The story of India is the story of caste; no one can deny that. The caste system might have emerged due to some reason in the past, but I believe it should not become a tool to suppress people. We took extreme care to depict social situations; the focus is on the debates rather than praising or accusing any character or community. Everyone has their point of view in their existential crisis and we have attempted to portray this. There are 260 characters that have dialogues in this series and compared to my films, this is a bigger arena. Spanning nine episodes, this series has the duration of nearly three feature films. How did you complete filming within three months? We shot for 89 days. We targeted having the final cut of five-minute worth of footage each day. The initial episodes are centered on family drama and college years. As the focus shifts to politics, the canvas becomes larger. We pulled it off thanks to a great team that helped with pre-production and planning. Ample help came from my co-writer and co-director Kiran Jay Kumar and producer Vijay Krishna, who also worked with me in Prasthanam. How did you go about the casting process? Sai Kumar plays a character that has parallels to the legendary NT Rama Rao. The choice of Sai Kumar garu, Srikanth Iyengar, and several others were unanimous calls as the script evolved. Major credit for the casting should go to Kiran who knew the strength of each actor. We also chose actors from theatre background, and a few others for their persona. If they were limited by their dialogue delivery or acting skills, we did workshops. Nazreen and Bhavana were great finds to play pivotal female characters. On the whole, it was like a huge drama company. If the casting is right, the journey is manageable. Most of your films have been social or political commentaries. In Republic, you quote George Orwell: 'In our age, there is no such thing as keeping out of politics'. Do you consider cinema as infotainment/edutainment? My next film will be intense and layered but will have nothing to do with politics. It might be the start of Deva Katta 2.0. Art has to be aspirational and I wanted my stories to have some aspiration. I recently came across director Vetrimaaran's interview in which he said 'anything is politics'. I agree. We cannot be ignorant; we need to be politically aware. You worked on a web series on Sivagami, exploring events before Baahubali-the Beginning. The series was shelved. Did that experience on working on long-format storytelling help during Mayasabha? It definitely helped. We (Rajamouli and Arka Media production house) aimed to achieve something on the lines of the Game of Thrones but pulled back for various reasons. It was a collective decision. Arka Media is among the best production houses I have worked with and we are planning something together. You have often cited Breaking Bad and The Godfather among the works that have influenced you. Was Mani Ratnam's Iruvar — a story of friends turning political opponents — also a reference point for Mayasabha? Mani Ratnam is among the filmmakers who has influenced me the most. Iruvar was a great visual oratory poetry; a piece of art. The treatment of Mayasabha is very different; it is more grounded to make the audiences relate to the characters.

Bihar govt doubles honorarium for MDMS cooks, night watchmen, health instructors in schools
Patna: In a major announcement ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday declared a significant hike in the honorarium for several categories of support staff in government schools, including cooks, night watchmen, and physical education and health instructors. The announcement was made via a post from the Chief Minister's official X account, highlighting the government's continued focus on strengthening the education sector through better compensation and support for ground-level workers. As per the revised honorarium, cooks employed under the Mid-Day Meal Scheme (MDMS) saw their monthly payment increase from Rs 1,650 to Rs 3,300, while night watchmen deployed in secondary and higher secondary schools have seen a monthly honorarium increase from Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000. Similarly, physical education and health instructors' monthly honorarium increased from Rs 8,000 to Rs 16,000 apart from annual increment raised from Rs 200 to Rs 400 for eligible personnel. CM Nitish Kumar said, 'These workers have played an important role in strengthening the education system. Doubling their honorarium will boost their morale and lead to greater dedication in their duties.' Highlighting the evolution of the education sector since his government took over in November 2005, the CM noted, 'The education budget has risen from Rs 4,366 crore in 2005 to Rs 77,690 crore in 2025. Progress includes massive teacher recruitment, new school buildings, and infrastructure development.' This announcement is the latest in a string of populist welfare measures rolled out by the Nitish Kumar government in the lead-up to the Assembly elections this year. Earlier, the journalist pension scheme increased from Rs 6,000 to Rs 15,000, social security pension for the elderly, disabled, and widows was hiked from Rs 400 to Rs 1,100, ASHA workers' incentive was raised from Rs 1,000 to Rs 3,000, and MAMTA workers now get Rs 600 per delivery, up from Rs 300 earlier. These measures signal the government's intent to consolidate support across various working-class and grassroots segments ahead of the crucial polls.
