BJP believes in inclusive politics: Jaiswal
Bhagalpur: State BJP president and former revenue minister Dilip Kumar Jaiswal on Sunday said the party believes in inclusive politics by taking along everyone in society and works for betterment of people across the state and the nation. He was addressing a meeting, 'Pradesh Gangota Mahasammelan', organized by Gangota caste members in Bhagalpur. The party president also inaugurated 'Baba Anant Das Smriti Shatabadi Samaroh'. Earlier, Jaiswal, a third time member of the legislative council, was given a rousing welcome at Bhagalpur by the party MLAs, district BJP office-bearers and functionaries, aspiring to get party tickets for the forthcoming state assembly elections. Organizing the state-level Gangota caste meeting in Bhagalpur holds significance in view of sizeable numbers of Gangota caste population in Bhagalpur, Purnia and adjoining districts. The Gangotas are also preponderant in Kahalgaon, Bihpur, Gopalpur, Nathnagar, Rupauli, Bihariganj and other assembly constituencies of old Bhagalpur division. The caste, Gangota aka Gangotri, is said to be derived from the holy Ganges as the community mostly resides on the embankments of the river and its subsidiaries, and comes under the bracket of extremely backward caste (EBC) in Bihar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust!

Uzbek Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov arrives in India for 4th India-Central Asia Dialogue
He wrote on X, 'Warm welcome to FM @FM_Saidov of the Republic of Uzbekistan. During his official visit to India, he will participate in the 4th India-Central Asia Dialogue and hold several bilateral meetings.' In a post on X, Jaiswal noted that the Uzbek Foreign Minister will also participate in several bilateral meetings during the visit. New Delhi: Uzbek Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov arrived in Delhi to participate in the fourth edition of the India-Central Asia Dialogue, the Spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Randhir Jaiswal, shared on Thursday. Earlier in the day, Tajik Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin; Zheenbek Kulubaev, Foreign Minister of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Deputy Chairman of Cabinet of Ministers and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, Rashid Meredov, also arrived in Delhi to participate in the fourth India-Central Asia Dialogue. The India-Central Asia Dialogue, launched in Samarkand in 2019, is a key ministerial platform aimed at strengthening ties between India and the Central Asian countries — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The earlier editions of the dialogue have focused on regional security, counter-terrorism, connectivity, and economic cooperation. This year's meeting is expected to build on those priorities, with discussions on trade, infrastructure, technology, and joint development initiatives. India shares centuries-old cultural and historical connections with the Central Asian region. Buddhism spread from India through Tibet to Central Asia, leaving a spiritual legacy visible at key sites such as Kara Tepe, Fayaz Tepe, and Adzhina Tepe. Indian monks helped translate scriptures and establish monasteries across the region, forming the early basis of engagement. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to all five Central Asian nations in 2015 gave a major boost to India-Central Asia ties. His participation in successive Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summits in Tashkent, Bishkek, and Samarkand further reinforced India's outreach. The first India-Central Asia Summit, held virtually in January 2022 and attended by the Presidents of all five nations, led to the adoption of the Delhi Declaration, institutionalising biennial summits and regular ministerial dialogues.

PM Modi to visit Siwan on June 20: State BJP chief
1 2 3 4 5 Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Siwan district on June 20 to address a rally, state BJP chief Dilip Kumar Jaiswal said here on Thursday. "PM Modi will make another big announcements at the Siwan rally," Jaiswal told reporters at the party office. This would be the fifth visit of PM Modi to the state after the 2024 parliamentary elections, which started from Jamui district in Dec, Bhagalpur (Feb), Madhubani (April) and Bikramganj (May). Piqued at a recent slogan of leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi that has gone viral, Jaiswal, without mentioning it, launched a blistering attack on the Congress leader. "PM Modi has come to Bihar 51 times in the last 11 years. His vision and hard work has made a new India, and he is a popular world leader. PM's visits have not been like that of Rahul, who goes out on a 'yatra' (tour), and in the process visits the state, before going into hibernation," Jaiswal. He said, "Rahul comes to the state whenever it is election time, and goes around with a book of the Constitution in his hand. He, instead, should keep visiting the state throughout the five years if he has to strengthen his party, because the country needs a strong opposition."
