Kushwaha may be inducted into Modi Cabinet
PATNA: With the Assembly polls fast approaching in Bihar, speculation is rife that Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) chief Upendra Kushwaha may be inducted into PM Narendra Modi's Cabinet during the next round of expansion.
The move is reportedly aimed at wooing voters belonging to the Kushwaha community, who account for a sizeable chunk of the population in Shahabad. The region, which comprises Bhojpur, Buxar, Rohtas and Kaimur districts, has long been a stronghold of the INDI alliance.
The BJP-led NDA's poor showing in the region in the 2020 Assembly polls as well as the 2024 Lok Sabha elections may have prompted the step.

Language Rhetoric Steals Poll Thunder As Mumbai Residents Raise Civic Issues
Mumbai: With the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections in the offing, the language debate has once again taken centre stage as political parties begin building narratives that will shape their campaign. Leaders across political parties are delivering fiery speeches over the Hindi versus Marathi debate, and statements on regional identity. Amidst it all, Mumbai residents continue to battle civic issues like potholes, broken footpaths and overflowing drains, which impact their daily lives. Despite years of complaints, potholes still dot Mumbai's roads - whether in the inner lanes or on key stretches like the Santacruz and Vile Parle flyovers. Locals say the issue repeats every monsoon, despite roads being patched up often. "They just throw stones and leave. Brakes don't work properly on these patched-up roads, and accidents are common," says a resident from the western suburbs. Some former corporators too are raising concerns. Former BJP corporator Makrand Narvekar recently wrote to BMC chief Bhushan Gagrani, asking for improvements to the civic body's pothole tracking app. He pointed out that the platform doesn't show real-time data or reflect the actual ground situation. "It does not display ward-wise or city-wide data on reported, repaired or pending potholes. This defeats the purpose of public participation in governance. In the absence of elected representatives, it is all the more vital for the BMC to demonstrate transparency and accountability," he noted. The BMC has been under administrator's rule since over three years, marking the longest period in the civic body's 135-year history that it has been functioning without elected representatives. Mumbai BJP spokesperson Niranjan Shetty said that civic concerns will be a priority for the party. "Whosoever becomes the next mayor, their first job will be to fix issues like sanitation, potholes and electricity. We will use new technology to ensure pothole-free roads," he said. But citizens remain skeptical. Activists like Chetan Kamble argue that the current focus on language is just a distraction. "Marathi is important, but elections should be fought on civic issues. Not on Hindi versus Marathi. People are dying because of potholes, and around 2,000 kilometres of roads need proper resurfacing. Why isn't that being addressed?" Atul Kale, a local resident, chimes in, "We've been fighting over the same issues for 40 years. Schools, education, unemployment - those are real problems. Not whether someone speaks Hindi or Marathi." Another resident summed up the growing frustration. "BMC elections were always fought on issues, unlike this time. This identity politics is not helping the city. We want clean roads, working drains, and functioning hospitals, not just speeches," he said. As the political conversation shifts toward identity and emotion, Mumbai's roads, quite literally, continue to crack under pressure. Amid the Hindi vs Marathi rhetoric, campaigns will reflect if civic issues top the parties' agendas.

Assam journos protest minister's 'derogatory words'; CM Sarma apologises for any insult
Journalists across Assam on Saturday protested the use of derogatory words against a local television channel reporter by a state cabinet minister, even as Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma tendered an apology for any defamatory statement by his colleague. State Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah had on Friday refused to answer a question posed by the reporter of a local news satellite channel, with which the BJP leader has been locked in a feud over allocation of government dairy promotion scheme funds and buying of Gir cows from a state-funded project in the name of a firm owned by his wife. Baruah, at that press conference, had said that he would not answer to "low-class" people like the reporter and would respond to the owner of the channel, 'Pratidin Time'. Guwahati-based journalists participated in a protest organised by the Gauhati Press Club (GPC), condemning such recurring incidents of verbal insult of scribes by politicians of different parties. Referring to the latest instance, the protesting journalists demanded an apology from the minister and assurance from all quarters of no further recurrence of such abuse of media persons. Live Events Protests by journalists were organised in different parts of the state, including Sivasagar, Samaguri and Dibrugarh as journalists wore black badges and raised slogans against the minister. Asked for his reaction to Baruah's statement, Sarma said, "If he has said anything derogatory to any journalist, he should apologise. I will myself tell him to do so as journalists are not part of our political feuds." "I also apologise for it, though I haven't heard what he had said," the chief minister added. Sarma maintained that if Baruah had said anything bad, it must have been "a slip of the tongue" as he himself comes from humble beginnings. "You (journalists) know him well. He is himself from common or humble roots. We all are," Sarma said. Referring to spats between the ruling party and some media houses of the state, Sarma said, "Owners of media houses and journalists are different. Journalists are revered... if we say something about the owners, journalists should not interfere in it." "Media can criticise us, but don't take blame for your owners," he added, directing the comment to the journalists. The chief minister said that media house owners have diverse business interests and they may face action for lapses or breaking the law in these also, but it should be not projected as the person is being "targeted" due to his media investment. Claiming that media house owners have high incomes from various sources like government contracts, Sarma said the journalists employed by them should also be paid well. "Journalists here are paid the least. They don't have their own house. When anyone falls ill, they come to me seeking help. I am always happy to help, but the owners should also give them at least Rs 10 lakh," he said.
