NewsToday With Rajdeep Sardesai: Will Tejashwi Work As CM Face? | Should India Call Out Trump?

The electoral battle for Bihar continues with the Mahagathbandhan officially naming Tejashwi Yadav as its Chief Ministerial candidate. Nitish Kumar and Mukesh Sahni are central figures in the political discourse. Congress's Bihar in-charge, Krishna Alavaru, claimed Nitish Kumar is unwell, alleging the BJP is governing the state by proxy. The opposition alliance has challenged the NDA to announce its Chief Ministerial candidate. The BJP has countered by referencing the 'Jungle Raj' period associated with Lalu Prasad and raising corruption allegations against the Yadav family. The campaign focuses on the Mahagathbandhan's job creation pledges versus the NDA's 'Jan Kalyan Raj' platform. This report examines the Bihar election debate surrounding Tejashwi Yadav's job promises, including Zafar Islam's questions regarding financial viability. The bulletin also addresses Prime Minister Modi's decision to not attend the ASEAN summit and a potential meeting with US President Donald Trump amid diplomatic tensions concerning trade and Russian oil sanctions. Furthermore, it details a public health incident in Madhya Pradesh where over 180 individuals, primarily children, sustained eye injuries from illegally sold carbide guns during Diwali.
