Ram & Sita will sail NDA boat through: BJP
Patna: Over 150 BJP 'vistaraks' (party expansion workers) from across India attended a party orientation programme in Rajgir to discuss election strategy and key focus areas ahead of the Bihar assembly elections. The event was chaired by BJP national general secretary B L Santhosh with senior leaders, including state party president Dilip Jaiswal, in attendance. Workers engaged in organisational duties in various districts were briefed on how to effectively communicate the achievements of the central and state govts to the public. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Jaiswal expressed confidence that the NDA would return to power in Bihar. "Lord Ram and Mata Sita will sail the NDA/BJP boat through the elections and we will form the govt with a two-thirds majority," he said, referring to the state govt's plan to construct a grand temple for Sita at Punaura Dham in Sitamarhi. Jaiswal also criticised RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav for a recent social media post in which he was seen offering water to a Shivalinga at the start of Shravan month. "It is good that Tejashwi is taking refuge in Lord Shri Ram. He is a Sanatani. During elections, leaders try to influence voters in different ways, but the people of Bihar are standing with the NDA," he added.

Akhilesh Yadav Vows "Full Support" To Lalu Yadav's Party In Bihar Polls
Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Monday said his party will extend full support to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls. He asserted that the BJP's "scams" in Uttar Pradesh will be exposed during the campaign. "We will fully support respected Lalu Prasad Yadav ji and Tejashwi ji in Bihar elections. The scams committed by the BJP in Uttar Pradesh will be revealed there, and the people will be told the truth," Mr Yadav said while addressing reporters at party headquarters here. The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister also claimed that the BJP has no intention to make Nitish Kumar chief minister again and it will force him to retire. "They are using Nitish Kumar ji's name and face, but they won't make him Chief Minister again. We once wanted to project him as the prime minister, but now look - he will be retired from even the CM post. The BJP will force him to retire," Mr Yadav said. The SP leader accused the saffron party of being hypocritical in its religious ideology. "Those who commit injustice, discriminate, and use children for politics cannot call themselves Sanatani," he said. "In today's politics, merely wearing saffron robes does not make one a 'baba' or a yogi. True identity comes from thought and conduct," he said, attacking Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Mr Yadav also accused the BJP of diverting attention from the core issues the country is facing. "They don't want to discuss fundamental problems. But the people are waiting - the 2027 elections in Uttar Pradesh will be like no other poll you've seen before," he said.
