In a major boost for the BJP ahead of the high-stakes Bihar Assembly elections, former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi today announced a tie up with the party to defeat what he calls an "unholy" alliance of Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav. |
Pakistan warned India on Wednesday against pre-emptive strikes along the lines of the army`s anti-insurgency operation in Myanmar, saying New Delhi should not have any misgivings about its nuclear-armed neighbour`s military strength. |
Hours after Army`s operations in Myanmar, Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore said that the strikes were a message to all countries, including Pakistan, and groups harbouring `terror intent` towards India that `we will strike at a place and at a time of our choosing.` |
Nitish Kumar will lead an anti-BJP coalition for this year`s Bihar Assembly elections, said Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today, thanking Lalu Prasad of the Rashtriya Janata Dal for nominating Mr Kumar to be the alliance`s presumptive chief minister. |
