Nitin Nabin was formally declared the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday (January 20, 2026). He has replaced JP Nadda. With his becoming president, a new chapter has begun for the party at a time when it is trying to strengthen its hold on the country’s politics. Meanwhile, politics has also started in Bihar.

‘Modi-Shah put forward Nitin Nabin’s name’

RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed cornered BJP by raising the issue of nepotism. RJD says that RSS had put pressure on Modi Shah to make the national president of his choice. To get rid of this, Modi-Shah put forward the name of Nitin Nabin.

Ejaz Ahmed said that BJP raises questions on familyism just for show. Today BJP has worked to advance the politics of family politics. Will BJP now run according to dynasticism? BJP should clarify.

Why is the question of familyism arising?

Let us tell you that Nitin Nabin’s father Naveen Sinha used to be a BJP MLA in Bihar. He died in 2006. When by-elections were held, Nitin Nabin won. Carried forward his father’s political legacy. He is currently the MLA from Bankipur (Patna district). Now that he has been made the national president, RJD is cornering BJP by linking it to familyism. However, BJP has always been targeting Lalu family on the issue of dynasticism.

On the other hand, Nitin Nabin is the youngest person ever to hold the top post of the party (BJP). On this occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, senior ministers Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari and others were present at the BJP headquarters. Nitin Nabin became the 12th president of BJP, which was founded in 1980 and was born in the same year. Nitin Nabin, who stayed away from the limelight, was appointed the working president of BJP on 14 December. After this, he resigned from the post of Minister of Law and Justice, Urban Development and Housing in Bihar Government.

RJD has made serious allegations against the government like commission embezzlement.

The official X handle of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has attacked the government regarding the Rohtas ropeway accident. RJD wrote in X Post, “Another project fell victim to the commission of BJP Nitish government. The newly constructed ropeway in Rohtas collapsed.”

‘Crores of rupees lost in trial run’

RJD further said, “Crores of rupees were sacrificed in the trial run itself. This ropeway was going to be opened for the general public on January 1. God saved hundreds of innocent lives from the corrupt hungry wolves sitting in the government.

Part of the ropeway collapsed during the trial

In fact, on December 26, a part of the newly constructed ropeway connecting Rohtasgarh Fort and Rohiteshwar Dham in Rohtas district collapsed during testing. Four trolleys and one tower have been damaged. However, the fortunate thing is that there was no loss of life or property in this incident.

What did the officials say on the ropeway accident?

Regarding this accident, officials said that a tower connected to the ropeway was also damaged during the trial. Four trolleys were also damaged in this accident. Officials said that the workers present on the spot saved themselves by showing timely caution.

Ropeway will be operated only after the trial is successful

It is also said that until all the trials are successful and the officials are completely satisfied. Till then the ropeway will not be operated for the general public.

Today (Friday) is the 5th and last day of the winter session of the Assembly. On the first day, Tejashwi Yadav participated in the election of Assembly Speaker, but after this he was not present in other sessions. It is being discussed that Tejashwi Yadav has gone to Europe. On this, NDA leaders are continuously raising questions on his absence. Now on Friday (December 05, 2025) JDU MSC and spokesperson Neeraj Kumar have responded to this.

Neeraj Kumar said that the winter session of the Assembly has started and Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav is missing. The opposition tour is over. Information is being received that he has gone to Europe with his family, while his father is ill. Neeraj Kumar said that there is a rumor that history-sheeter Rameez has also gone with him. My question is that when Rameez has gone, have you taken permission from the court? The JDU leader made a big demand and said that if you have taken it then share its copy on social media.

11 cases registered against Rameez: Neeraj Kumar

Further speaking to the media, Neeraj Kumar said that we have received information that Rameez is a history-sheeter. There are 11 cases registered against him. It is said that good qualities come from company and good qualities come from company. Leaders of BJP and LJP (Ram Vilas) have also raised questions on Tejashwi Yadav’s absence from the winter session. Now Neeraj Kumar has raised questions on going to Europe with Tejashwi Yadav as well as his colleague Rameez.

Let us tell you that when Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya had left Rabri residence a few days ago, she had taken the name of Rameez. Before this, very few people had heard the name of Rameez. When the discussion started in Rabri residence after RJD’s crushing defeat in Bihar elections (2025), the matter escalated so much that Rohini left the house. After this, while giving statement to the media at the airport, he took the name of Rameez. Rameez is considered close to Tejashwi Yadav.

Lalu family’s bungalow is being built in Mahuabagh, Patna, on which a lot of politics is going on. After the formation of the new government in Bihar, as soon as the notice to vacate the Rabri residence located at 10 Circular Road was received, the discussion about this bungalow intensified. Now the video of this bungalow has been shared on X by Bihar BJP.

‘Complete arrangements for luxury and luxurious life’

MP Sanjay Jaiswal took a jibe at the bungalow like this

In this whole matter, BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal said that he has seen the bungalow. It is quite luxurious. He said, “We know very well that Lalu ji does not have any business. Rabri ji also does not have any business. Tejashwi Yadav definitely has a business that he can buy a four-storey house in Delhi’s Defense Colony for Rs 4.5 lakh.”

Sanjay Jaiswal said that in the end what will happen is that Mahuabagh bungalow will also turn out to be a scam. It will be seen when he files income tax return.

On the other hand, RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed said that Sanjay Jaiswal should answer on the allegations made by Prashant Kishore. You have not responded to that in the public domain till date. Please provide information about the things that came to light regarding the petrol pump and your illegal property.

‘The mandate that came… is not being digested’

RJD spokesperson said that people also gave their opinion on this mandate. Because every person of Bihar was aware of the situation on the ground. There was a resentment against the government, but the way the mandate has come, it is not being digested.

In the meeting, Lalu Yadav gave freedom to Tejashwi Yadav to work independently. Said that he will take the party forward as a whole. Although Tejashwi Yadav said that if you want, you can choose someone else as leader, but no one was ready. Due to the opinion of all the people, he (Tejashwi) had to take the responsibility and was elected the leader of RJD legislative party.

Work will be done at booth and panchayat level

Further on the election results, Shakti Yadav said that this is machinery management mandate. Our review will run. Election Commission rules were flouted. Elections were going on and money was being sent to the account. This is the result of the machinery management that has taken place. We are not going to lose. We are talking on all points. Told the NDA that they are going to form the government, absolutely form the government and you should live up to the public sentiments. Regarding the future strategy, Shakti Yadav said that RJD will move forward to work at booth level and panchayat level.

RJD MLA Bhai Virendra said, “Tejashwi Yadav has been elected by the newly elected MLAs as the leader of the Legislative Assembly on behalf of the party. We will work on the guidelines given. There has been theft in EVMs. We have to fight against EVMs. We have won the elections because of what has happened with the ballot paper. We have lost in the EVMs only.”

Earlier, farmers were given installments of Rs 2,000 three times.

Union Health Minister targeted RJD

Targeting Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Nadda said, ‘RJD means extortion, jungle raj and bullying.’ He said that RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav raises the issue of migration to Bihar, whereas his father Lalu Prasad himself used to say that when Biharis go out, they wear gamchha and when they return, they wear suit and tie.

First, Rahul Gandhi did not accept Tejashwi as his face, now Tejashwi has made Rahul Gandhi disappear from the poster. This poster itself is an announcement of the breakup of the Grand Alliance.”
