As the seat-sharing tussle within the NDA over Bihar continues, the INDIA alliance has made a move on the political chessboard and offered eight Lok Sabha seats in the state and two in Uttar Pradesh to Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan, sources have told NDTV.  Bihar Power Shift: BJP Allies?

The BJP has slammed Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Satlin's DMK party, claiming that the party leaders were involved in the massive international drug cartel busted recently by the Delhi Police and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). Blame-game between BJP, Stalin's DMK over drug menace in Tamil Nadu During his recent visit to Chennai, Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that drugs had penetrated deeply into Tamil Nadu and said he worried about the future of youngsters in the state.
