With the high-octane battle for Bihar inching closer, the Congress has initiated dialogue to finalise candidates. The party had already held two meetings of the Screening Committee, with sources indicating that at least 36 seats have been discussed in detail and all sitting MLAs may be fielded again.

The first meeting of the Screening Committee was held on Friday under the chairmanship of Ajay Maken and attended by committee members and Bihar Congress leadership, including state incharge Krishna Allavaru, state unit chief Rajesh Ram, and CLP leaders Madan Mohan Jha and Shakeel Ahmed Khan, among others.

The meeting lasted over 10 hours, during which Screening Committee members first discussed with state leaders and then held detailed one-to-one sessions with all the party MPs of the state.

Another meeting of the Screening Committee was convened on Saturday, lasting over five hours.

EXTERMINATE MOSQUITOES TO ERADICATE EIGHT DEADLY DISEASES

Till now, Iceland, with a harsh, unique climate and geographical isolation, was the only country in the world that was completely free of mosquitoes. Three mosquitoes were found in the Kjos valley in October 2025. Scientists blamed rising temperatures due to climate change and increased travel for these arrivals. Mosquitoes are vectors for deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus fever, and filariasis. In 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597,000 deaths globally. World Malaria Day on 25 April and National Dengue Day on May 16th in India highlight the need for public education, continued investment, and sustained political commitment for prevention and control measures, especially before the monsoon season. ‘Chikungunya' means \"to become contorted,\" (due to severe joint pains) in the Kimakonde language in Tanzania and Mozambique.

The House of Mr Vance

Religious conversions have entirely different connotations for Hindus due to the coercive, including violent, nature of both Islamic and Christian proselytizing in the Indian subcontinent. In Western liberal societies, such as the US, however, religious conversions do not evoke the same response.

WELFARE DELIVERY, MODI FACTOR PROPELLING NDA IN BIHAR POLLS

The Bihar elections opened with opposition parties confident that Nitish Kumar's long incumbency and public fatigue courtesy his 20 years of rule would translate into a difficult contest for the NDA. In the early phase of campaigning, this seemed plausible. The same feeling was also shared by top National Democratic Alliance leaders while interacting with journalists privately, including by two senior BJP Union Ministers, who spoke to this correspondent before and after the poll schedule was announced.
