Foreign nationals in Bihar electoral roll: Tejashwi shifts blame to PM Modi and CM Nitish; claims BJP enabled illegal entry
NEW DELHI: A day after calling the Election Commission 's claim of coming across illegal immigrants during the special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar as "bogus," Rashtriya Janata Party leader Tejashwi Yadav on Monday blamed the Centre for enabling foreign citizens to enter the Indian states by crossing borders. In a social media post on X, Tejashwi said that responsibility for the security of the country and the state lies with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Nitish Kumar. "For 20 years in Bihar and 11 years at the Centre, the BJP-NDA government has been in power. If any foreign citizen has entered our borders, the ones responsible are Prime Minister Modi ji, home minister Shri Amit Shah ji, and chief minister Nitish Kumar ji. Because the responsibility for the security of the country and the state lies with them," Tejashwi said. "Is it with the strength of these foreigners that Modi ji has been winning 39 out of 40, or 33 out of 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar? Is it on the strength of these foreigners that Nitish-BJP has been entrenched in Bihar for 20 years? Bihar shares a bond of bread and kinship with Nepal. Bihar has a 600-kilometre-long border with Nepal. Nepalese citizens serve in the Indian Army. Nepalese citizens are employed in the Bihar Military Police. With its narrow-minded approach, the Modi government is even spoiling relations with the neighbouring country of Nepal," he added. This comes a day after sources claimed that field-level officials of the Election Commission (EC) have identified "a large number" of individuals from Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar during ongoing house-to-house verification for the revision of the voters' list in Bihar. The EC has made it clear that the names of illegal migrants will not be included in the final electoral roll, which is set to be published on September 30. A proper verification process will begin after August 1 to determine the citizenship status of those flagged. The poll body is expected to expand this Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise nationwide to remove illegal migrants from electoral rolls by verifying individuals' place of birth. The drive takes on added importance as Bihar heads to polls later this year, with state elections in Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal due in 2026. The revision is part of a wider crackdown on illegal immigration, particularly targeting those from Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Asaduddin Owaisi's "Mummy They Stole Chocolate" Dig At INDIA Bloc On Bihar Alliance
New Delhi: Reiterating that the AIMIM is open to a poll alliance with other Opposition parties in Bihar, party chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has taken a swipe at the INDIA bloc, and said, "no one should cry after the election and say, 'Mummy, they stole our chocolate'". In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Mr Owaisi was asked if the AIMIM planned to forge an alliance or join the Mahagathbandhan led by the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress. "Our state party chief, Akhtarul Imam, is trying. And I have asked him to try his best. No one should cry after the election, 'Mummy, mummy, they have stolen your chocolate'. If they are ready (for an alliance), I am ready. I don't want the BJP-NDA to return. But if they don't agree, we would have to contest the election, right?" he said. The 'chocolate' swipe appears to be aimed at Opposition parties that have often alleged that AIMIM is the BJP's "B-team" and enters the poll contest to split anti-BJP votes and benefit the BJP. The AIMIM leader said the party declared candidates for two seats, Bahadurganj and Dhaka, a month ago. "Our candidates are working hard. We will put up candidates in other seats too. They (Opposition parties) have to think (if they want the alliance or not). We will speed up our preparations. Our candidates will win, stay with the party and serve the people," Mr Owaisi said. Earlier, Mr Owaisi said he reached out to the Opposition bloc before the 2020 polls for an alliance, but nothing came of it. The AIMIM can play a key role in the Bihar polls. Mr Owaisi's support base in the minority community can potentially upset the Muslim-Yadav combination RJD relies on. Also, he has gained popularity over his public remarks in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor and this can potentially benefit the AIMIM in this election. In the 2020 polls, AIMIM surprised by winning five of the 20 seats it contested. Four of its MLAs later joined RJD, but the poll performance still showed the party had gained political heft in Bihar. The AIMIM contesting separately has the potential to harm the Opposition alliance by splitting the minority vote, a key factor in the election. The BJP-JDU is looking to retain power in the upcoming polls, as smaller allies such as Chiraj Paswan's LJP (Ram Vilas) are posturing for a good seat-sharing deal. The RJD and the Congress, on the other hand, will be looking to return to power. Jan Suraaj, a political front led by former poll strategist Prashant Kishor, is also in the fight.

CPI(ML) sets sights on 40-50 seats, plans statewide campaign
Patna: CPI(ML) general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya said on Tuesday that the party is preparing to contest 40-45 assembly seats in the upcoming Bihar elections scheduled for Oct-Nov. Addressing mediapersons, Bhattacharya said discussions within the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) regarding the alliance's agenda and seat-sharing arrangements would begin soon. He was accompanied by party leaders Dhirendra Jha, legislators Gopal Ravidas, Sandeep Saurabh and Shashi Yadav, as well as senior leaders K D Yadav and Umesh Singh. Bhattacharya said the party would launch 'yatras' (campaign marches) in four zones of the state, along with a series of Jan Samvad (people's dialogue) events, to address the prevailing situation under the BJP-led NDA govt in Bihar, headed by CM Nitish Kumar, as well as the national political climate under PM Narendra Modi's third term. "The BJP-NDA govt has failed on all fronts. Popular anger against both the state and central govts is rising," he said. The yatras will take place from June 18 to June 27 in old Shahabad, Magadh, Saran-Champaran and the Muzaffarpur-Darbhanga regions. The Jan Samvad meetings are scheduled for Barachatti (Gaya) on June 11, Warsaliganj (Nawada) on June 12, Rajgir (Nalanda) on June 13 and Biharsharif on June 14. Bhattacharya alleged that the law and order situation in Bihar has "virtually collapsed" with a surge in criminal activity and lawlessness. "Feudal atrocities have returned to the state. Rape of women has become commonplace. People want freedom from the oppressive system," he said. The theme of the party's campaign is 'Badlo Sarkar, Badlo Bihar' (Change the govt, change Bihar).
