First look of the Old Trafford pitch
With Assembly elections looming in Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has announced free electricity for all domestic consumers using up to 125 units per month, starting from August 1. The move is expected to benefit 1.67 crore families. The Bihar government also plans to install solar panels on rooftops and public spaces, especially for economically weaker sections, under the Kutir Jyoti scheme. In another major decision, Nitish Kumar has directed the education department to begin the process for TRE-4, the next round of Teachers' Recruitment Examination. So far, the state has appointed over 3 lakh teachers in previous rounds. A 35% reservation for women from Bihar will continue to apply. These twin announcements come just months before the expected October–November polls, signaling a powerful electoral pitch from the JD(U) chief.#nitishkumar #biharpolls2025 #freeelectricity #tre4 #teacherrecruitment #solarscheme #biharnews #electionpromise #biharcm #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews

4 attempts made to kill my son Tejashwi: Rabri
1 2 Patna: Former Bihar CM Rabri Devi made a sensational revelation on Friday, alleging that there were four attempts made in the past to "assassinate" her son, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav , and blamed these attempts on the "BJP-JD(U) people". Tejashwi, leader of the opposition in the state assembly, is considered the opposition INDIA bloc's CM face, although a formal announcement has not been made so far. "Tejashwi Yadav ko toh char baar marne ke koshish hua tha rasta mein…Yahan bhi marne ke koshis ho raha hai (There have been four attempts in the past to kill him on the way. Conspiracies are still being hatched to eliminate him in Patna)," Rabri told reporters in the portico of the Bihar legislative council. She added that Tejashwi faces serious threats to his life and they are very much aware of who is behind the conspiracies. "But none can silence the voice of the people," she said. Rabri levelled these allegations against her political rivals a day after the Bihar legislative assembly plunged into pandemonium during which opposition and ruling party members ran menacingly towards each other and almost came to blows, but this was averted due to timely intervention by the security forces. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like We Have No Words For Dog The Bounty Hunter's Transformation Cash Roadster Some RJD members alleged that during this scuffle-like situation, a BJP member uprooted the microphone from the table and ran menacingly towards Tejashwi with the intention to assault him, a charge denied by the NDA leaders. RJD sources said Rabri was compelled to raise the security issue of her son in light of some recent incidents where Tejashwi's life appeared to be "in danger". On July 10, a speeding car allegedly tried to enter his cavalcade on J P Ganga Path in Patna, prompting the police to arrest the driver. On June 29, Tejashwi narrowly escaped injury as a drone crashed into the podium while he was addressing the "Waqf Bachao, Samvidhan Bachao Sammelan" at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. He narrowly escaped again on June 7, when a speeding truck hit two vehicles of his convoy, injuring three security personnel in Vaishali district. Tejashwi himself said a firing incident took place outside his official residence at 1, Polo Road, which is considered a VIP area, last month.

Nitish slams oppn for protests in black attire
Patna: CM Nitish Kumar on Friday expressed strong displeasure over the continuing protest by members of the five-party Grand Alliance (GA), who have been donning black attire for the past three days to oppose the special intensive revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls being conducted by the Election Commission in the state. The CM reacted sharply to the renewed protests which erupted soon after the Bihar assembly convened for the morning session. The opposition legislators, dressed in black, first stood at their seats demanding the withdrawal of the SIR and then proceeded to the well of the House. Leader of opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav was not present during the session. Pointing at the opposition members, the CM said, "Look at them, these people who are creating 'hangama' (ruckus) in the House and what kind of clothes they have put on. These parties are all together, they have put on clothes of one colour." Addressing the women opposition MLAs, he added, "Did you ever wear such clothes that you have put on now?" The CM added, "It has become clear that these different parties (of the GA) in the opposition have nothing else to do. They don't know what and how much work my govt has done. It has benefited all." "I have been looking at you all (for the last three days). You all have come together. These parties, which are different, but have come together and have also been wearing clothes of one colour. They are doing just 'ulta-pulta kaam' (senseless acts). Do you know how much work has been done?" the CM asked. He went on, "What have you done, you all have come to the House wearing black clothes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's The Price of a 1-Day Walk-in Shower In 2025 Homebuddy Learn More Undo It had never happened in the past. It used to happen occasionally, but today they all are one," he said, sounding visibly weary. When someone seated in the front row of the treasury benches quietly urged him to sit down, the CM responded with a remark before finally taking his seat. Despite the intervention, the protests continued unabated. The Speaker was compelled to adjourn the morning session just seven minutes after it began. As a result, the time allocated for question hour, zero hour and calling attention notices was lost. In the post-lunch session, the Speaker directed that all written replies submitted by the govt in response to the listed questions be deemed as read on the floor of the House and entered into the official record.
