Once again a new debate has erupted in the politics of Bihar regarding ‘Bharat Ratna’. Amidst the demand to give the country’s highest civilian honor to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Bhojpuri superstar Khesari Lal Yadav has openly supported him. At the same time, he also fiercely attacked BJP leader Dinesh Lal Yadav ‘Nirahua’ and power star Pawan Singh.

Senior JDU leader KC Tyagi’s demand to give ‘Bharat Ratna’ to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar by writing a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi is getting support in many circles of Bihar. In this episode, Bhojpuri actor Khesari Lal Yadav said, “Nitish uncle is our guardian. If he gets Bharat Ratna, it will be a matter of pride for the whole of Bihar. May God grant him this honour.” However, meanwhile, a demand is being raised from RJD to give this honor to Lalu Prasad Yadav also.

,He will not judge my ability,

Khesari Lal reacted strongly to Dinesh Lal Yadav ‘Nirahua”s statement calling Khesari “not worthy of BJP”. He said, “Nirahua cannot decide whether I am worthy of BJP or not. He is not the national president of the party. I know how many offers I have received from BJP.”

Khesari Lal Yadav’s counter attack on Nirahua

On the allegation of leaving Bihar after the elections, Khesari hit back at Nirahua and said, “People say I ran away. Is there a film city built in Chapra? I have to go to Mumbai to earn two breads because all my work and family are there. If you give a film city in Chapra, I will stay here.”

Big statement on Pawan Singh and Lalu family

Khesari Lal Yadav raised the issue of respect for women while targeting Pawan Singh. He said, “Pawan Singh does not respect women, yet BJP is keeping him in its lap. This is his life, I have nothing to do with it.” While defending the Lalu family in the ‘Land for Job’ case, he said that Lalu Prasad Yadav has given voice to the poor. “If there was no leader like Lalu ji, the poor would still be living under pressure. At the age he is, this (legal action) should not happen to him.”

A few days ago, bullion traders in Jhansi, UP had taken a decision to ban people from coming to jewelery shops wearing burqa or hijab. Now its effect is being seen in Bihar also. The bullion traders here have also taken a decision and put up a notice outside the shop that it is prohibited to come to the shop wearing burqa, niqab, mask, helmet. After this decision, there has been political uproar in Bihar.

Bihar President of All India Jewelers and Goldsmiths Federation, Ashok Kumar Verma has held a meeting with all the district heads of the state. It has been decided that if any customer comes to the shop wearing a mask, helmet, burqa or hijab, he will have to remove it. It is being told that traders have taken this decision from security point of view. This information has been given to the Central SP of Patna over phone.

Ashok Kumar Verma said that the jewelery shop has mostly women as customers, hence keeping in mind their respect, they will be requested to remove it. District heads of other districts including Gopalganj, Chhapra, Dehri Onson, Arrah, Buxar, Bhagalpur, Gayaji, Sasaram, Muzaffarpur, Motihari, Aurangabad, Jehanabad, Patna, Nawada were present in the meeting.

Why was this decision taken?

Ashok Kumar Verma told that many such incidents have happened and due to his face being hidden, the police also faced problems. Due to this this decision has been taken. We respect women, but will make requests of them. There are also women salesmen in all the shops. If anyone rejects this request then the goods will not be sold. Currently, the price of gold and silver has increased a lot, hence this decision has been taken from the security point of view. For this, a letter has been sent to DGP, Chief Secretary and Home Ministry.

After this decision, most of the shopkeepers of Patna have put notices in front of their shops. Bakarganj area of ​​Patna which is considered to be the market of gold traders, all the shopkeepers here have put up notices. If we believe those people then this decision is commendable.

‘Respect is as important as security is’

On this decision, Adil Hasan, national spokesperson of Asaduddin Owaisi’s party AIMIM, said, “I welcome the decision of the gold traders, but this is a matter related to the respect of Muslim women, so I would definitely tell them that if you have taken this decision, then keep only sales girls in the shops. Because as important as your safety is, the respect of women is also important.”

Take decisions thoughtfully: Anjum Ara

JDU spokesperson Anjum Ara said that if bullion traders have pasted such posters regarding burqa and hijab in front of their shops, then it will make women wearing burqa or hijab feel uncomfortable. This will affect the sales of bullion traders. Take any decision thoughtfully. Because the matter is related to religion and there is freedom to wear and eat in every religion.

Three MLAs of Rashtriya Lok Morcha had recently met BJP National Working President Nitin Nabin. When the picture of these MLAs surfaced with Nitin Nabin, discussions started that there could be a split in Upendra Kushwaha’s party. Meanwhile, Upendra Kushwaha’s first reaction has come on this.

On Friday (December 26, 2025) Upendra Kushwaha was in Sasaram. Journalists asked him questions about this, to which he replied that there is no question of any kind of disunity in his party. While giving advice to the journalists, he said that you do not have any valid questions which can be answered.

In fact, its three MLAs Rameshwar Kumar Mahato, Madhav Anand and Alok Singh did not attend the party’s Litti-Chokha party organized in Patna two days ago. On this, Upendra Kushwaha replied that this is not an issue to be discussed about. He rejected the question of break in Rashtriya Lok Morcha and said that such questions are being asked unnecessarily.

Today (Friday) he was meeting common people in Sasaram council. During this, he said the above things in response to the questions of journalists. Let us tell you that there are a total of four MLAs in Rashtriya Lok Morcha. There is news of resentment regarding three MLAs while one MLA is Snehlata, wife of Upendra Kushwaha.

What could be the reason for the breakup in the party?

It is noteworthy that Upendra Kushwaha’s son Deepak Prakash is currently a minister in the government. He is neither an MLC nor an MLA. In such a situation, there is resentment among other MLAs of the party. Now if three of the four MLAs separate, then Kushwaha’s party will be isolated. Even though Kushwaha has called it an unnecessary question, there are many discussions in the political circles.

In the picture that has surfaced, Rameshwar Mahato is seen on the right side of Nitin Nabin, Madhav Anand is seen on the left and Alok Singh is seen behind. The absence of the three MLAs from attending the Litti-Chokha banquet indicates an uneasy situation within the party.

Are these three MLAs angry with the party?

According to sources, ever since Upendra Kushwaha has made his son Deepak Prakash a minister, reports of displeasure have been coming from within the party. Deepak Prakash is neither an MLC nor has he contested the assembly elections, whereas the MLAs wanted that one of them should be made a minister. There is evidence of resentment among the MLAs regarding this. Now it has to be seen whether this is a normal meeting or something bigger is going to happen in the coming days.

Speaking to the media, the VIP chief said, “You people saw how hard we worked in the elections. After the results came, the government is doing the work of the government and the opposition is playing its role accordingly. We have just lost the elections, what will we do by staying in Bihar.”

Gave three months time to the government: Mukesh Sahni

Mukesh Sahni said that we have just given three months time to the government. In three months we will see whether the promise made is fulfilled or not. If Rs 10 thousand is given then Rs 2 lakh more is being given or not. Said that if the money is not given then we will come on the road. If we come on the road, we will come prepared well.

What has Shivanand Tiwari said?

Shivanand Tiwari wrote from his social media handle on Wednesday (December 10, 2025) that Tejashwi is the son of Lalu Yadav. They are his heirs. Rather, the command of Rashtriya Janata Dal is now in the hands of Tejashwi. In the last elections, it was announced that Tejashwi Yadav would be the Chief Minister if the Grand Alliance gets majority, but this could not happen. Rather the opposite happened. Victory and defeat are natural and common rules in any field, but the most important question is how we take our victory or defeat. He advised that Tejashwi Yadav should return (from abroad) immediately. Travel in Bihar. Not like a leader but like a worker. Along with this, he has written many other things.

I want to tell about myself that from the beginning till now, I have taken pension only during the period when I have not been a member of any House. While being in the House, I have taken salary only from there. The question of taking pension does not arise during that period.”

‘Can’t take salary and pension together’

Upendra Kushwaha further said, “Obviously today I am a member of the Rajya Sabha. Hence, I am taking salary from the Rajya Sabha. I am not taking pension from the Assembly/Legislative Council.
