Prashant Kishor will be CM face of Jan Suraaj in Bihar assembly elections, says party

PATNA: Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) national president and former Purnea MP Uday Singh alias Pappu Singh on Thursday revealed that Prashant Kishor would be the chief ministerial candidate of the party in the upcoming Bihar assembly election. Kishor is the founder of JSP.
JSP's national president's statement is in contrast of Kishor's stand on the issue as the latter has repeatedly said that he was not in the race for the CM's post. It has to be seen how Kishor responds to his party chief's statement as the former is currently on 'Bihar Badalo Yatra', ahead of the assembly elections.
Singh claimed that a wave of change was sweeping entire Bihar, and it could also be felt easily, adding that people from different villages were joining JSP.
'People are posing faith in the leadership of Kishor', he said, adding JSP was more a movement aimed at reforming society than a political party.
He alleged that all political parties were only interested in power, as the state's deplorable condition was also due to it.
Singh also attacked Bihar chief minister and JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar by claiming that migration from the state had not stopped despite the JD (U) leader being at the helm for the last 20 years.

Operation Sindoor paused only after Pakistan's plea for ceasefire: Rajnath Singh

SRINAGAR: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said Operation Sindoor was paused only after Pakistan's plea for ceasefire. He said this on the occasion of International Yoga Day, where he was leading troops at Northern Command Headquarters in J&K's Udhampur. Singh led the armed forces in celebrating the 11th International Day of Yoga (IDY) by performing various asanas and breathing exercises with about 2,500 soldiers at Northern Command, Udhampur. The defence minister had arrived at the North Command headquarters yesterday evening. While addressing the soldiers, the Defence Minister credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for popularising yoga globally and highlighted that the practice provides a holistic approach to health & well-being. Yoga, he said, is a universal solution to the problems faced by people in today's fast-paced world, such as stress, anxiety and depression. 'It is an art, a science, a philosophy, and spirituality. Those who practice Yoga in their daily lives have control over their body and mind. It makes us proactive, not reactive'.

'Operation Sindoor not over yet' The defence minister stressed that Operation Sindoor was not over yet and Delhi would respond with full force in response to any future terror attack. 'Operation Sindoor sent a powerful message to terrorists and their patrons that New India is assertive, resolute and will no longer be a victim of terrorism, but respond with strength and strategy,' said the Defence Minister. 'Operation Sindoor is not over yet. This is just a pause. I want to tell this to my neighbouring country,' he said.

Singh characterised Operation Sindoor as more than a military operation, but a clear message to cross-border terrorists and their supporters that India will deliver a decisive response to any threats against its unity and integrity.
