Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's recent remarks regarding Pakistan have ignited a fresh political controversy, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing the Congress of having a soft stance towards India's neighbor. In an interview with 'Chill Pill,' Aiyar suggested that India should «respect» Pakistan due to its possession of nuclear weapons.

Bihar Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Less than a year ago, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar was seen as a formidable figure within the opposition, positioned as the strongest challenger to PM Narendra Modi.

During a recent event alongside Modi in Aurangabad, Kumar aimed to dispel any doubts about his allegiance, stating, «While I may have momentarily strayed from the path, I want to assure you that I have returned to the NDA fold for good.» His remarks, met with subtle smirks from Modi and Bihar governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, highlight the intricate dynamics of political alliances in the state.

Aware of his history of political manoeuvring, the public responds with scepticism, mindful of past promises that were quickly forgotten.
