RJD says INDIA bloc okay with Tejashwi Yadav as CM face
Yadav made the announcement after attending a meeting of the INDIA bloc held to discuss seat sharing for the elections as they aim to wrest power from the BJP-led NDA.
The fifth meeting of the INDIA bloc's coordination committee for Bihar polls was held at the official residence of RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav.
Following the meeting, Tejashwi told the media that the discussion on seat sharing had begun and that everything would be settled amicably.
He emphasised that there was a lack of law and order in Bihar. The RJD leader alleged that the state government did not have a clear vision as it was announcing initiatives he had already implemented.
'We'll make bigger announcements in the coming days. The alliance has a big vision for the state,' he claimed.
The INDIA bloc comprises RJD, Congress, CPI (ML), CPI, CPM, and VIP. While the induction of AIMIM into the INDIA bloc appears a remote possibility with RJD MP Manoj Jha advising Asaduddin Owaisi not to contest Bihar polls, former union minister Pashupati Kumar Paras-led Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party is also apparently waiting for a green signal for its entry into the alliance.

CM launches Rs 2,578 crore development projects in Mysuru, criticises opposition
1 2 3 Mysuru: Chief minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday launched development projects of Rs 2,578 crore in Mysuru district. The new projects sanctioned to the city include a cancer hospital (Rs 50 crore), an endocrinology hospital (Rs 50 crore), a new building and facilities at the Institute of Nephrology (Rs 125.5 crore), and a new KSRTC bus stand in Banni Mantap (Rs 120 crore). Also, various developmental works of Rs 380.8 crore were implemented in the Mysuru City Corporation limits. These include a construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling plant (Rs 10.6 crore), a material recovery facility (Rs 10.2 crore), a floating dragon boating pond inside the Dasara exhibition grounds at an estimated cost of Rs 3.5 crore, and works of the Centre for Sports Science (Rs 3.5 crore). The CM inaugurated the newly constructed buildings of the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya hostels for boys and girls. The CM launched these projects in the presence of DCM DK Shivakumar, AICC president Mallikharjun Kharge, and over a dozen cabinet colleagues, including home minister G Parameshwara and energy minister KJ George. Speaking at an event, Siddaramaiah accused the opposition of misleading the public. "The BJP and JD(S) are spreading falsehoods to derail Karnataka's progress. I challenge them to come to a single platform and debate our govt's development works. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse? Play this for 1 minute and see why everyone is crazy about it. Play Game Undo I will be there," Siddaramaiah said. He said BJP MPs from the state are afraid to even talk in front of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He accused the Union govt of denying Karnataka its rightful share in the Centre's taxes. "BJP and JD(S) are neglecting the state's interests. Why don't Union ministers HD Kumaraswamy and Pralhad Joshi, or MP Basavaraja Bommai, demand justice for our state? Their silence is a betrayal," he charged. Siddaramaiah alleged that the BJP never came to power in Karnataka on its own and captured power through the backdoor via Operation Kamala. He also criticised JD(S) leader Kumaraswamy, claiming he never rose to power independently. Siddaramaiah accused the BJP and JD(S) of being envious of Congress' achievements, urging them to set aside petty jealousy. "Today JD(S) became very weak in the state due to its alliance with BJP," he said. Interestingly, even though this convention was widely called a show of strength for CM Siddaramaiah on his home turf, district minister HC Mahadevappa made it clear that it is not a convention called to show one's existence or challenge anyone. "After Mysuru Maharaja Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, Mysuru city witnessed developments only under Congress rule—under Siddaramaiah's govt," he claimed.
