This special report delves into the intense seat-sharing negotiations in Bihar ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, focusing on the internal struggles within the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan, involving key figures like Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadav, and Chirag Paswan. The broadcast highlights that for the 'first time that JDU and BJP will be contesting on equal number of seats in assembly elections'. This major power shift within the NDA comes as the alliance finalises a formula where both parties contest 101 seats each. Meanwhile, the Mahagathbandhan is still grappling with its own arrangement, with reports suggesting Congress is likely to get around 60 seats from the RJD. The report details multiple points of contention, including the Congress's reluctance to officially endorse Tejashwi Yadav as the Chief Ministerial face and friction over seat allocations for smaller allies in both camps.

Video: PM Modi hugs, touches feet of 98-year-old BJP veteran in Bengal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hugged and honoured 98-year-old Makhanlal Sarkar, one of the earliest and senior most members of the BJP. The scene unfolded on the stage ahead of Suvendu Adhikari's swearing-in as West Bengal's Chief Minister in Kolkata. PM Modi also touched Sarkar's feet and presented a shawl to him as a mark of respect. In 1952, Sarkar was arrested in Kashmir while he was accompanying Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee as the latter was marching to hoist the tricolour there. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya described the elderly party leader as "one of the earliest grassroots figures associated with the nationalist movement in post-Independence India."
