Bihar Polls: Speaker Nand Kishore Yadav Denied Ticket In BJP's First List

This special report focuses on the Bharatiya Janata Party's first list of 71 candidates for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, a move that has significant implications for state politics. The major highlight, as stated by reporter Rohit Singh, is that 'the deputy...Chief Minister of Bihar, [Samrat Chaudhary] will be contesting elections after a long time.' The list includes both Deputy Chief Ministers, Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, who will contest from Tarapur and Lakhisarai respectively. In a major development, the current Bihar Assembly Speaker, Nand Kishore Yadav, has been denied a ticket from his long-held Patna Sahib seat. The party has also fielded former MP Ram Kripal Yadav, who lost the 2024 Lok Sabha election to RJD's Misa Bharti, from the Danapur assembly seat.
