Newly appointed President of Bihar Congress Akhilesh Singh has invited Congress National President Kharge to Bihar to flag off the yatra starting from January 5 from Digvijay Singh’s ‘Nanihal’. But Kharge has not yet agreed on this. Kharge has sought opinion in this regard from one of his advisors, Rajya Sabha MP Syed Nasir Hussain. After much deliberation, Hussain has come to the opinion that ‘at least in his first visit, the Congress national president should not visit states like Bihar or UP, as the party’s cadre in these states is extremely weak’, so for Kharge, getting a crowd there will be a tough challenge. Hussain had also sought the opinion of the local Congress unit of Bihar and only after that he came to the conclusion that Kharge should not go to Bihar. Hussain has conveyed his opinion to the president, and now Kharge has to take the final decision.

Gautam Adani is about to take over a major national English daily and their regional editions, and one of the most prestigious English newspapers in South India.

If sources are to be believed, the brothers have decided that ‘the newspaper should be sold, and the digital and channel should be divided among themselves.’ Anyway, in the opinion of both the brothers, print is only a venture to keep the government happy, it is difficult to make money from it.

It seems that Kejriwal has imbibed the BJP’s agenda of ‘Congress-mukt Bharat’, apparently, somewhere in his campaign, he is also getting the support of saffron beliefs.
