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.

Yogi Adityanath on Saturday presented a saffron gamcha to Suvendu Adhikari, shortly after the latter took oath as the first BJP Chief Minister of West Bengal. The crowd also erupted into a loud cheer as the scene unfolded at the swearing-in ceremony in Kolkata. This was at least the second such instance in recent weeks when the duo's bonhomie was witnessed publicly. Earlier, during the election campaign in the state, a powerful scene was witnessed when Adhikari bowed down at the feet of the UP Chief Minister as a mark of respect.
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."
