Chirag Paswan met Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, congratulating him on NDA’s sweeping victory in the assembly elections and refuting speculation of a rift between their parties. Paswan highlighted the CM’s appreciation for all alliance partners, emphasising their collaborative success in the polls. NEW DELHI: Union minister and LJP (RV) chief Chirag Paswan on Saturday met chief minister Nitish Kumar and congratulated him for NDA’s sweeping victory in the assembly elections.After the meet, Chirag refuted speculation about rift between LJP (RV) and JD(U), claiming that Nitish appreciated the role of every alliance partner in NDA.”I met the CM, congratulated him and extended him best wishes. NDA registered a historic victory under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. So, a delegation of LJP(RV) met him and congratulated him. I am delighted that the CM appreciated the role of every alliance partner in the NDA,” Chirag said.“He supported the LJP(RV) candidate when he went to vote. In Alauli, where I vote, I supported JD(U) candidate. This shows that those were misleading regarding JD(U) and LJP(RV) were just setting false narrative…”,” he added.This comes after rift between the two parties surfaced during the seat sharing deal within NDA ahead of Bihar polls.During the run up to the elections, Chirag had also criticised Nitish over deteriorating law and order situation in the state.”I feel ashamed that I am supporting a government where crime has become uncontrolled,” Chirag had said.Interestingly, this was the first time when LJP(RV) and JD(U) were contesting the assembly elections together under the umbrella of NDA.In 2020 Bihar assembly elections, claiming himself as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Hanuman”, Chirag decided to go solo and fielded 135 candidates in fray — specifically harming JD(U) poll prospects. LJP(RV)’s candidates acted as vote-cutters, contributing to JD(U)’s sharp decline from 71 seats in 2015 to just 43 in 2020, its lowest tally in years.However, in 2025, LJP(RV) emerged as a key force within the NDA, winning 19 of the 29 seats it contested and helping the alliance cross the 200-seat mark.Paswan said his party chose from a “pool of 38 seats” offered by the BJP, stressing “quality over quantity.” After multiple rounds of discussions with BJP and JD(U) leaders, LJP(RV) secured its position as the largest junior ally. Other smaller allies received six seats each, showing how negotiations tilted in Paswan’s favour.The NDA registered a historic landslide victory in the 2025 Bihar Elections, winning 202 of the 243 seats in the state; meanwhile, the Mahagathbandhan could only secure 35 seats.NDA secured a three-fourths majority in the 243-member House.

An accidental explosion at Nowgam Police Station in Srinagar killed nine people and injured 27 others. The blast occurred while processing a large cache of explosive substances and chemicals recovered during a terror module investigation. The ministry of home affairs has ruled out any terror angle, attributing the incident to the unstable nature of the seized materials. (PTI photo) NEW DELHI: The ministry of home affairs on Saturday ruled out any terror angle in the Nowgam police station blast case, terming it an “accidental explosion” that took place at the outskirts of Srinagar, killing 9 people and leaving several others injured.Deadly Explosion At Nowgam Station Exposes Scale Of 360 Kg Urban Terror Cache Seized From FaridabadAddressing a press briefing, Prashant Lokhande, joint secretary (J&K division), MHA, said: “Yesterday, at around 11:20 pm, an unfortunate accidental explosion took place inside the Nowgam Police Station.” “During the investigation of a terror module, a huge cache of explosive substances and chemicals had been recovered and kept securely in an open area of the police station.””As part of the standard procedure, these materials were being processed and forwarded for forensic examination.” “Due to their unstable and sensitive nature, they were being handled with utmost care. However, during the process, an accidental explosion occurred.””In this incident, nine people lost their lives, while 27 police personnel, two revenue officials, and three civilians sustained injuries. The injured were immediately rushed for medical care.””The police station building suffered severe damage, along with some surrounding structures. The cause of the accident is being investigated, and any other speculation is unnecessary.”Security personnel have cordoned off the area, and sniffer dogs have been deployed as part of the investigation.Jammu and Kashmir Police chief Nalin Prabhat also termed the massive explosion at the Nowgam police station as “accidental.”Prabhat said the explosives were recovered during the investigation of a “white-collar terror module” and had been transported from Faridabad in Haryana to the Nowgam police station, where they were kept in a secured open area within the premises.According to officials, the blast took place while a joint police and forensic team was examining the explosive material, which was part of a nearly 2,900 kg chemical cache recovered from an arrested doctor. The explosion triggered multiple secondary blasts and caused severe structural damage to the building.Sources said the probe is linked to the November 10 Delhi blast and to alleged objectionable posters found in Nowgam in October, which led to an FIR on October 19 and subsequent action against what was believed to be an inter-state Jaish-e-Mohammed module.Between October 20 and 27, two suspects were arrested from Shopian and Ganderbal, followed by the arrest of Dr Adil from Saharanpur on November 5. This led to the seizure of weapons and ammunition, including an AK-56 rifle, from Anantnag hospital and further arms and explosives from Faridabad.During interrogation, the accused allegedly named more persons involved, resulting in the arrest of Dr Muzammil of Al-Falah Medical College in Faridabad and additional recoveries of weapons and explosives.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
