Rameshwaram Cafe blast suspect face revealed; BJD likely to rekindle alliance with BJP

More pictures of the Bengaluru cafe blast suspect have surfaced, showing him travelling on a bus. One of the pictures also showed the suspect without a hat or a mask. The explosion, which took place on March 1 at Rameshwaram Cafe in Brookfield in East Bengaluru, left at least 10 people injured. 

Meanwhile, there are talks that the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in Odisha led by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik can rekindle ties with the BJP. Although there has been no formal announcement of the same, leaders of both parties have hinted at a re-alliance. The BJD left the BJP-led NDA in 2009 after an 11-year political partnership due to failed seat-sharing talks.
