Bihar Elections: Tension Between Congress and RJD Over CM Candidate, as Rajesh Kumar Meets Tejashwi Yadav

Elections are scheduled to take place in Bihar this year, and there have been ongoing discussions about the possibility of Congress aligning with the RJD. However, recent statements from some Congress leaders about the CM candidate have created some tension between the two parties. Amid this tension, Bihar's new Pradesh Congress President Rajesh Kumar met with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, with Congress MLA Shakil Ahmad Khan also present. This meeting, which took place a day before Rahul Gandhi's visit to Bihar, is being seen as an attempt to control the damage between the parties. On the other hand, farmer leader Jagjeet Singh Dallewal ended his hunger strike after 130 days. He had started the protest last year in November, demanding a legal guarantee for MSP and addressing several other farmer concerns. Despite his deteriorating health, Dallewal remained firm on his demands, but recently announced the end of his hunger strike during a farmers' panchayat in Punjab's Fatehgarh. Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee's government in West Bengal is under pressure due to corruption allegations related to teacher recruitment. The Supreme Court's ruling has led to many teachers losing their jobs, and Mamata will meet with those affected to discuss possible solutions. The court has also ordered that the affected teachers return their salaries. In addition, a severe heatwave is sweeping across many parts of the country. Temperatures in Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh have crossed 40°C, with Delhi's temperatures recorded about 3°C higher than usual. The India Meteorological Department has issued a heatwave alert for these areas over the next few days.
