9 lives and counting: Nitish’s chief ministerial run in Bihar
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|November 20, 2025
Nitish Kumar has been elected as the leader of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar and will take oath as chief minister in Patna today. This is the tenth time he will be administered the chief ministerial oath in the state, the highest for any chief minister ever in India. Conventionally, Kumar, given the years he has spent as CM, should have taken oath only five times, not nine -- that would have put him ina club of 14 other such chief mit isters in India -- but his politics has been far from conventional.
Kumar's first term as chief minister lasted just seven days in 2000 when his government had to resign after failing to muster a majority. He took oath for the second and third time after the October 2005 and 2010 assembly elections, when the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won a majority in Bihar. However, he quit as the chief minister after the Janata Dal

Farhan Akhtar’s heartfelt war drama takes time to connect
As I watched 120 Bahadur, I just couldn't shake off the sense of familiarity. Our war dramas often march to the same beat, and this one also takes its time before stepping out of that mould. It finds its footing eventually, but only after wading through a swamp of predictability. So how does it fare overall?
