On his social media handle, Paswan expressed his gratitude, posting, “Thank you, honourable Chief Minister, for coming to my home and partaking in Kharna Prasad. My family and I are grateful for the good wishes you expressed during the meeting.”
The images, which have gone viral, show Nitish Kumar interacting with Chirag Paswan, along with his close family members, including his mother, Reena Paswan, and his brother-in-law, Arun Bharti, the LJP-R MP from Jamui. Bharti had previously represented the Jamui Lok Sabha seat before his shift to Hajipur, the constituency associated with Paswan’s father.
The meeting has sparked interest in Bihar’s political circles, as it reflects a moment of camaraderie and mutual respect between the two leaders, even as both are leading distinct political entities in the state.

Among those expelled is Narendra Niraj, also known as Gopal Mandal, the sitting MLA from Gopalpur in Bhagalpur district. Mandal, who has recently been embroiled in controversy, made headlines when he staged a protest outside the Chief Minister’s residence in Patna after learning that JD-U would not re-nominate him. Despite facing legal issues, including an FIR for defamation filed by a JD-U MP, Mandal attempted to seek re-election but was replaced by Bulo Mandal, a former Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader. This led Mandal to file his candidacy as an Independent.
In addition to Mandal, other expelled leaders include Sanjeev Shyam Singh, a former Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) and candidate for the Gurua assembly seat with Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party, and former minister Himraj Singh, who is contesting independently from Katihar. Maheshwar Prasad Yadav, a former MLA from Gaighat in Muzaffarpur and the 2020 runner-up, has also been expelled after vocal criticism over JD-U’s choice of Komal Singh, a newcomer, as the party’s candidate in his seat.
Earlier expulsions included 11 leaders, such as former minister Shailesh Kumar, who is contesting as an Independent against JD-U’s official candidate in Jamalpur, and ex-MLAs Shyam Bahadur Singh and Sudharshan Kumar. All these leaders were accused of supporting rival candidates and opposing JD-U’s official nominees.
A senior JD-U leader remarked on the expulsions, saying that these individuals were acting against the party’s official candidates and undermining the party’s ideological stance.
Bihar’s 243-seat legislative assembly will go to the polls in two phases, on November 6 and November 11, with results expected on November 14. As the election season heats up, the JD-U appears determined to maintain discipline within its ranks to ensure its success in the polls.

]]>The JD(U) is a state party in Bihar and Arunachal Pradesh, and building a name for itself in UP and Manipur will allow it to apply for national status, allowing it to have a say in national politics.
Insiders in the JD(U) think that Nitish Kumar’s demand for a caste census has pushed him to national leadership stature, as numerous opposition parties are now demanding it along with the general census in 2022. It is yet to be approved by the Centre.

“There has been a long-standing demand for the caste-based census in Bihar. Bihar Assembly has unanimously sent a proposal for the census to the Central government twice. But since there was no response from PM Modi, we decided to meet him personally,” the HAM president told ANI.
“The last caste-based census was done in 1931 in Bihar. This census is important to know the caste demography in the society and will help the government to work for the welfare of the minorities,” he added.
On being asked about the refusal of the Ministry of Home Affairs to conduct a caste-based census, Manjhi said: “I hope the government will reconsider its decision.”
“The government even keeps a count of the animals in the country. These are the people of the country. I hope PM Modi will understand this and give us a positive answer,” he said.
Rashtriya Janata Party (RJD) Tejashwi Yadav, who is also in Delhi to attend the meeting with the Prime Minister said: “Twice resolutions have been passed in Bihar Assembly for caste census in the state.
