J&K: Indian Army dog lays down her life in line of duty

Bihar politics is at a turning point as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar prepares to move to the Rajya Sabha, ending his long tenure as CM. This has thrown the Janata Dal (United) into uncertainty, raising questions about its future leadership and role in the next government.Sources suggest that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) could claim the chief minister’s post, while JD(U) may take the deputy CM position. Key names under discussion for the deputy post include Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, a trusted ally of Nitish Kumar, and his son Nishant Kumar.Discussions are also underway for cabinet formation, with both BJP and JD(U) expected to get significant ministerial berths. Smaller allies, including the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular), and Rashtriya Lok Morcha, are likely to retain their existing positions.Political analysts suggest the next CM could be a surprise choice, keeping Bihar’s political landscape in flux. Decisions taken in the coming days in Patna will determine not only who leads the state but also the power-sharing formula between JD(U), BJP, and other allies.
