बिहार के मुख्यमंत्री नीतीश कुमार (Nitish Kumar) ने सत्ता की बागडोर राज्य के उप मुख्यमंत्री तेजस्वी यादव को सौंपने का शनिवार को एक बार फिर संकेत दिया है. जद (यू) नेता कुमार ने पिछले साल कहा था कि जब बिहार में 2025 में अगला विधानसभा चुनाव होगा, तो राष्ट्रीय जनता दल (राजद) के युवा नेता राज्य में सत्तारूढ़ महागठबंधन का 'नेतृत्व' करेंगे. इससे जद (यू) में खलबली मच गई थी और संसदीय बोर्ड के प्रमुख उपेन्द्र कुशवाहा ने यह आरोप लगाते हुए इस्तीफा दे दिया था कि मुख्यमंत्री कुमार ने गठबंधन करते हुए अपने कट्टर प्रतिद्वंद्वी एवं राजद प्रमुख लालू प्रसाद के साथ एक 'सौदा' किया है. भाजपा नेताओं के साथ 'व्यक्तिगत संबंध' संबंधी हालिया टिप्पणी के मद्देनजर उनके एक बार फिर से पलटी मारने को लेकर जब अटकलें लगने लगीं, तो कुमार ने इसका जोरदार खंडन किया है. तेजस्वी यादव की मौजूदगी में पत्रकारों से बात करते हुए कुमार ने उनके (यादव) कंधे पर हाथ रखा और कहा, 'अब यह बच्चा मेरे लिए सब कुछ है.' यह इशारा राज्य के राजनीतिक हलकों में चर्चा का विषय बन गया.  जब पत्रकारों ने प्रदेश कांग्रेस अध...

He said his being overlooked would make party face consequences in the entire division as he served the people for 10 years with full honesty. "This is a local dispute.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied interim bail to former Andhra Pradesh chief minister and TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu and said it will pronounce its verdict on his plea challenging the high court order refusing to quash the FIR against him in the Skill Development Corporation scam case. A bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Bela M Trivedi, which reserved its verdict on the TDP leader's petition, did not accept the prayer of senior advocate Harish Salve, who sought interim bail for Mr Naidu, 73, citing his age and the period of 40 days that he has spent in custody. "I have a request for interim bail. Your Lordships may consider releasing him. If you eventually rule against him, he can go back. In the 2015-16 inquiry, the government's lament was that nothing came of it. Now, in 2021, they are desperately grasping at straws," Mr Salve said, reaffirming that Mr Naidu was falsely implicated in the case. Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra, also representing Mr Naid...

The Bombay High Court imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on a woman, who six years ago accused a man of raping her and forcing her to abort twice, only to clarify later that it was a consensual relationship and there was no coercion. A division bench of Justices Anuja Prabhudessai and NR Borkar in its September 20 order, made available on Tuesday, noted that the woman said before the High Court that she terminated her pregnancies of her own will. The accused in the case went to the High Court seeking to quash the FIR in the case. "The complainant has filed her affidavit stating that the relationship with petitioner (the accused) was consensual and that she had taken a conscious decision to abort the pregnancies since she was not legally married. She claims that she is already married to another person and has a child and is living a peaceful family life. She has accorded her consent to quash the FIR and all consequent proceedings," the court noted in the order. The judges direct...
