Bihar Revenue and Land Reforms Minister Vijay Sinha is talking about running a big campaign to end land disputes, but violent incidents in land disputes are not showing any signs of decreasing. A big case has come from the capital Patna, where two real brothers were shot dead during a reception party in Shahpur village of Gopalpur police station area on Sunday night. The incident happened when many people were gathered at the reception party and suddenly bullets started firing.

According to the information, the reception party of his son was going on at the house of a person named Daulat Rai on Sunday night in Shahpur village under Gopalpur police station of Patna. 32-year-old Manish Kumar and 23-year-old Manjeet Kumar, both real brothers, had come from nearby to attend the party. At that very moment bullets started firing in the party and both the brothers were targeted and shot directly. There was a commotion in the party due to the firing. Both the brothers fell unconscious. Both of them were immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where the doctor declared both of them dead.

The accused were identified

On receiving information about the incident, many senior police officers including Gopalpur police station arrived. Patna East SP Parichak Kumar said that both the deceased are real brothers and the criminals have been identified. An arrest will be made very soon. In this, old land disputes are coming to the fore. Three shells have been recovered from the spot.

40 year old land dispute

Giving detailed information, the father of the deceased Manish and Manjeet said that there was a 40-year-old dispute going on with the nearby brothers Krishna Rai and Prem Rai over 6 acres 56 decimal land. Gopalpur police station including DSP, SP, IG, DIG all know this. The matter was in the court and about four to five months ago the court had given its decision in his favor. After which Krishna Rai and Prem Rai, both brothers and their sons and families were in panic.

father had suspicions

The father of the deceased told that both the sons were going to a party at night, when he suspected that some untoward incident might happen. That’s why he had forbidden both his sons not to go to the party, but they went and what was feared happened. This incident once again shows the seriousness of violent incidents related to land disputes in Bihar.

After the formation of the new NDA government in Bihar and the swearing in of the Chief Minister, the reactions of the opposition are continuously coming to the fore. In this series, National President of Samajwadi Party and former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav has shared an interesting post on his ‘ex’, which has created a new stir in the political circles.

Akhilesh Yadav shared those pictures when India Alliance was being formed and Nitish Kumar was playing an important role in uniting that alliance. Along with the pictures, Akhilesh wrote that at that time he had tried to elevate Nitish Kumar to the post of Prime Minister. He wrote- “We wanted to make him the PM, but Nitish Kumar remained the CM.” With this comment, Akhilesh congratulated Nitish Kumar on taking oath as Chief Minister. He wrote in the message that congratulations to Nitish Kumar on taking oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar and best wishes for a public welfare, positive and independent governance system based on its core socialist ideology for the next five years.

best wishes wrapped in political satire

Seeing this post of Akhilesh Yadav, experts believe that this is not just a congratulatory message but also a political sarcasm. During the formation of INDIA alliance, Nitish Kumar was being considered as a possible face for the post of Prime Minister among the opposition leaders. Many leaders including Akhilesh had also praised Nitish’s active role.

But after a few months, Nitish Kumar broke ties with the alliance and returned to NDA. Since then, he has been accused of U-turn politics by the opposition.

What is the political message behind the post?

Akhilesh making old photographs public again is an indication that he is trying to corner Nitish Kumar over his constantly changing political stance. The pictures remind that Nitish was once the center of unity of the opposition, but now the same Nitish has become the Chief Minister by joining the NDA. Akhilesh’s statement that he wanted to make him PM is being seen as a political satire.

Nitish’s oath and opposition’s reaction

Nitish Kumar has created a new record by taking oath as Chief Minister for the 10th time. However, immediately after the oath taking ceremony, many opposition leaders put his credibility under question. This post of Akhilesh is also being considered a part of the same political reaction.

Bihar CM Oath Taking Ceremony: After NDA’s massive victory in Bihar assembly elections, Nitish Kumar is once again going to take charge of power. Nitish Kumar is going to take oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the 10th time today i.e. on 20th November. The swearing-in ceremony of the Chief Minister will take place today at 11:30 am. During this time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also be present, apart from this, Chief Ministers of 20 states and senior leaders of NDA are also expected to attend the swearing-in ceremony.

Regarding Nitish Kumar taking oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the 10th time, this question is arising in the minds of many people that which is the leader who has taken oath as the Chief Minister the most number of times. Is Nitish Kumar’s name also included in this list? So today let us tell you who is the leader who has taken oath as CM the most number of times.

Leader who took oath most number of times

Bihar leader Nitish Kumar also holds the record for taking oath as Chief Minister most number of times in Indian politics. He has taken oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar nine times so far and this will be his tenth swearing-in ceremony. Nitish Kumar has remained at the center of Bihar politics since 2005. Since 2005, alliances have changed in Bihar, equations have changed, but for the last 20 years, Nitish Kumar’s dominance has remained on the Chief Minister’s chair. This time, even after the big victory of NDA in the assembly elections, he was elected the leader of the legislative party and now he is going to form the government in Bihar again.

Who is the leader who has been CM for the longest time in the country?

Nitish Kumar has taken oath as Chief Minister the most number of times in the country in terms of the number of oath taking oaths. However, Nitish is still behind many leaders like Kumar in terms of serving as Chief Minister for the longest period. The record of serving as Chief Minister for the longest period in Indian politics is in the name of Pawan Kumar Chamling, who has been the Chief Minister of Sikkim. Nitish Kumar is currently at 8th place in this list. If he remains the Chief Minister till 2030, he can be included in the top-3 of this list.

List of leaders who have been CM for the longest time

• Pawan Kumar (Chamling Sikkim) – 24 years 165 days
• Naveen Patnaik (Odisha) – 24 years 99 days
• Jyoti Basu (West Bengal) – 23 years 137 days
• Gegong Apang (Arunachal Pradesh) – 22 years 250 days

The politics of Bihar is welcoming a historic moment today. Nitish Kumar, who has been the center of stability and experience in the state’s politics for a long time, has taken oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar for the 10th time. Like last time, this time also two Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha also took oath along with him. This clearly shows the message of balance of power and division of work within the new government.

Nitish Kumar taking oath for the 10th time is a new political chapter for Bihar. From the new team with Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Sinha, the public expects better administration, speedy development works and stable government. Today is going to add another important page in the history of Bihar politics.

NDA achieved a big success by winning 202 seats

NDA has achieved a major success by winning a total of 202 seats in the recently held Bihar Assembly elections. This victory is not only a proof of the strength of NDA, but also once again confirms the popularity and leadership ability of Nitish Kumar in the political scenario of Bihar. After this big victory, today Gandhi Maidan of Patna is completely ready for the swearing-in ceremony.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended

Extensive preparations were made to make the swearing-in ceremony of Bihar Chief Minister grand. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself attended the ceremony. Along with him, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, several Union Ministers, heads of NDA constituent parties, Chief Ministers of various states and senior leaders at the national level were also present. This swearing-in ceremony is also going to prove to be a big platform to showcase the unity and political power of NDA.

Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Sinha took oath as Bihar Deputy CM.

There are many political equations behind the decision to appoint two Deputy CMs. Samrat Choudhary was considered a contender for the post of Chief Minister, while Vijay Sinha is counted among the strong leadership of BJP. By giving both of them the post of Deputy Chief Minister, NDA has tried to achieve organizational balance, social representation and political message. Due to this, the expectation of strengthening the functioning of the government in the coming days has also increased.

Tight security arrangements at Gandhi Maidan

Tight security arrangements have been made for the oath taking ceremony at Gandhi Maidan. The entire area is buzzing with the activities of police, administrative officials and technical teams. Special arrangements have been made for surveillance, barricading and VIP movement through drone cameras. LED screens installed in the grounds, party posters and newly decorated stages are making this event more grand.
