Mahagathbandhan in Bihar: Will arithmetic of seat-sharing overshadow chemistry of vote yatra?
NEW DELHI: Rahul Gandhi’s “Voter Adhikar Yatra” in Bihar was a picture-perfect show of unity – with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav joining hands to unleash a coordinated offensive against the Election Commission and the BJP, accusing them of stealing elections. It was a campaign that brought together all the Mahagathbandhan leaders. The chemistry between the allies was obvious and was aptly summed up by Rahul Gandhi when he asserted during the course of the yatra: “A very strong partnership had been forged. All the parties (in the bloc) are working in sync. There’s no tension, and there’s mutual respect for each other as we are ideologically and politically aligned. The result will be good.” Ironically though, Rahul made this statement to evade a direct reply to a pointed question – “Why Congress was not backing RJD’s Tejashwi as CM candidate?” Clearly, the bonhomie on display notwithstanding, the Congress leader was not willing to endorse the leadership role of the senior partner in the Bihar alliance. This despite the fact that Tejashwi had already openly proclaimed during the yatra that if the opposition is voted to power in the next Lok Sabha elections, Rahul will become the Prime Minister. Little wonder then, with the yatra over, realpolitik has taken over. The yatra bonhomie between the allies seems to have given way to pressure games as they finalise the seat-sharing deal. While claims and counterclaims by allies do point to fissures in the alliance, most of this could be posturing to extract the best deal. Why seat-sharing deal may be a tough nut to crack? In the 2020 assembly elections, RJD had contested 144 seats and won 75. The Congress had the worst strike rate as it contested 70 seats but won only 19. The Left parties had performed very well five years back with the CPI-ML winning 12 out of 19 it got under seat-sharing, while CPM won 2 out of 4 and CPI 2 out of 6. This time around, there are at least three more parties joining the opposition alliance: Vikasheel Insaan Party of Mukesh Sahani, JMM and the breakaway faction of LJP – headed by Chirag’s uncle. Interestingly, five years back, VIP was part of Mahagathbandhan till the seat-sharing deal was announced. While the announcement was being made, VIP’s Sahni walked out of the opposition alliance and crossed over to the NDA. This time around he has sought 60 seats and the post of deputy chief minister if the alliance wins. Sample some of the statements made by the allies for a better bargain this time around, and one understands why finalising a deal may not be easy. CPI’s D Raja “We will try to get more seats. If other parties are demanding, our party has a great history in Bihar and it has a widespread presence and organisational strength and our party can decide the political course in different district. So we should get reasonable number of seats.” VIP’s Mukesh Sahani “The Vikasheel Insaan Party will contest 60 seats in 2025, with candidates from our allied parties contesting all remaining seats.” “We have always believed that if new parties come into the alliance, then every party will have to contribute from their kitty. In every state there are good seats and bad seats (in terms of winnability) and we believe that one party should not get all the good seats and the other gets the bad ones. In the sharing of seats, there should be a balance between good and bad seats.” Congress’s Krishna Allavaru “Hopefully, Congress would adopt a “more realistic” approach in the ongoing seat-sharing talks for the upcoming assembly elections, drawing lessons from its performance in the 2020 polls when it had “bitten off more than it could possibly chew. Maybe contesting fewer seats than last time but winning more and performing better… would be in the interest of the Congress, and definitely that of the entire INDIA bloc.” RJD, Congress under pressure? The pressure is mostly on the RJD, which is the biggest party in the alliance and has maximum stakes. Little wonder, Tejashwi has already embarked on a solo yatra to perhaps assert his dominance in the coalition. For the Congress also, its 2020 performance is a hurdle notwithstanding the claimed gains from Rahul’s ‘Voter Adhikar’ yatra. It remains to be seen how much the two parties are willing to compromise to accommodate the other parties. Clearly, for the Mahagathbandhan, after a smooth yatra, the road ahead appears to be bumpy.

Dalit man dies in police custody: Allahabad High Court seeks response from Yogi government, demands ₹25 lakh compensation
Nawabganj Police Station Death Case: Petitioners demand ₹25 lakh compensation for the family and a High Court-monitored investigation Prayagraj: Hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking an investigation into the death of a Dalit man in police custody at Nawabganj police station in Prayagraj, the Allahabad High Court has directed the state government to file its response (counter affidavit) within two weeks. The petitioners have also demanded ₹25 lakh compensation for the deceased’s family members. The family alleges that the man died due to torture in custody on the police station premises, while the police claim he died of a heart attack. Hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by the Advocates Forum and two others, a division bench of Justice Siddhartha and Justice Santosh Rai, in its order on Wednesday, directed the PIL to be listed before the appropriate court on October 10 for further hearing. According to the petitioner’s lawyer, Charlie Prakash, on May 27, the police picked up Hira Lal, a laborer, from his home in connection with a theft case in which no one was named. It is alleged that no family member was allowed to meet Hira Lal, and later the police informed him that Hira Lal had died. Family members were asked to go to the mortuary at Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital. The PIL alleges that Hira Lal’s body was not handed over to the family members, and the police cremated him at the Daraganj Ghat in Prayagraj. “This is a case of brutal custodial death and murder by the police within the police station premises, in violation of Article 21 (right to life and personal liberty),” argued Charlie Prakash, the petitioner’s lawyer. They demanded the formation of a high-level, independent, and impartial committee headed by a retired High Court judge to investigate the illegal detention, custodial torture, and custodial death of Hira Lal, a resident of Narrepar village, Buduna, under the Nawabganj police station. The PIL also stated, “The investigation should be conducted under the supervision of the High Court and should submit its report within a stipulated time.” Rajan Chaudhary Courtesy: Hindi News
88 locations in 23 districts of Madhya Pradesh declared sensitive for SC-ST crimes
Experts believe that policing alone will not solve the problem. Caste tensions and old rivalries remain a major challenge in these areas. Bhopal. The increasing incidents of crimes against Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in Madhya Pradesh have worried the government. The Home Department, after reviewing the situation in the state, found that cases of such crimes are increasing rapidly in more than half of the districts. Consequently, 88 locations in 63 police station areas across 23 districts have been declared sensitive areas. Police will now develop a special strategy to control crime in these areas. According to the Home Department report, incidents of atrocities against Dalits and tribals have steadily increased in the past few years. Caste disputes, old rivalries, and land disputes, especially in rural areas and small towns, give rise to such incidents. The government has taken this seriously and identified sensitive areas across the state. By issuing a notification, the Superintendents of Police of all the districts have been instructed to maintain special vigilance in these areas and resolve even small disputes immediately. Which areas are sensitive? The police stations and areas declared sensitive include Kotwali in Mandla district, Kosmi and Bharveli in Balaghat, Kotwali and Ganjbasoda in Vidisha, Shujalpur City and Shujalpur Mandi in Shajapur, Vaydinagar in Mandsaur, rural areas, Itarsi and Kotwali in Narmadapuram, Kotwali in Dhar, Padma Nagar, Mandhata and Pandhana in Khandwa, Simrol in Indore, Kotwali, Station Road, Civil Lines and Bamnor in Morena, rural areas in Bhind, Industrial Area and Piplawa in Dewas, Gorabazar in Jabalpur, Kotwali, Cantt, Vijaypur, Aron and Madhusudangarh in Guna, Sirsod, Dinara, Amola, Indaur, Bhaunti, Pipariya and Shivpur in Shivpuri, Sarani and Amla in Betul, Obaidullaganj in Raisen, Bahodapur, Janakganj, Jhansi Road, University and Thathipur in Gwalior, Cantt, Baheria, Banda and Rahatgarh in Sagar. These include Damoh Kotwali, Chhatarpur Civil Lines, Lavkushnagar and Jujharpur, Tikamgarh Kotwali, Ashoknagar Kotwali, Dehar, and Bahadurpur. These steps will be taken According to the Home Department’s notification, steps such as establishing police outposts, community awareness campaigns, and resolving old disputes will now be taken in areas declared sensitive. Police forces have been instructed to take immediate action upon receiving complaints of any incident and assure victims of safety. Furthermore, efforts will be made to build mutual trust by increasing communication with organizations associated with Dalit and tribal communities. Action under the SC/ST Act The state government has also clarified that sensitive areas have been identified under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. This Act provides for the protection of victims’ rights, prompt investigation, and strict punishment for the perpetrators. The Home Department states that this step will not only reduce crime but will also reassure Dalit and tribal communities that the administration is committed to their safety. The Challenge of Social Harmony Experts believe that policing alone will not solve the problem. Caste tensions and old rivalries remain a major challenge in these areas. Therefore, community-based initiatives and the promotion of social harmony are also essential. The government has indicated that in the future, peace committees will also be activated in these sensitive areas to prevent minor disputes from escalating into major crimes. What is the SC-ST Atrocities Prevention Act, 1989 Under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, physical assault on Dalits and Adivasis, caste-based insults, land grabbing, forced labor, or social boycott are considered crimes. These cases are investigated by DSP-rank officers, and special courts have been established for speedy trials. This law provides for imprisonment ranging from 6 months to 5 years and a fine for convictions, while serious crimes such as murder, rape, or mass violence can result in up to life imprisonment. Most offenses under the Act are non-bailable, and victims are provided compensation, legal aid, and protection. Ankit Pachauri Courtesy: Hindi News

A Dalit family in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, is burdened with debt! Father and 2-year-old son dead, wife and son hospitalized; mass suicide suspected!
A Dalit family in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, is burdened with debt! Father and 2-year-old son dead, wife and son hospitalized; mass suicide suspected! The family ate dinner together on Friday night. According to family members, Prakash began experiencing severe stomach pain and vomiting shortly after eating. Bhopal. A tragic incident occurred on Friday night in the Orchha Road police station area of Chhatarpur district, Madhya Pradesh. Four members of the same Dalit family suddenly fell ill after eating. Farmer Prakash Ahirwar (35) and his two-year-old son, Nihal, died. His wife, Nandini (29), and elder son, Tanishq, are currently undergoing treatment at the district hospital. While the cause of the incident remains unclear, it appears to be a case of mass suicide. How did the incident occur? The family ate dinner together on Friday night. According to family members, Prakash began experiencing severe stomach pain and vomiting shortly after eating. Initially, they thought it was normal and thought he would get better by morning. However, as the night progressed, his condition worsened. They were rushed to the hospital, where doctors declared Prakash and his younger son, Nihal, dead. Dr. Ashish Shukla stated that the family had eaten potato curry, after which they began vomiting and feeling uneasy. Nandini’s condition is now stable, but the condition of his elder son, Tanishq, remains critical. A Story of Financial Pressure and Debt Prakash Ahirwar was a farmer and had borrowed a tractor for farming. Due to repeated crop failures, he was unable to pay the installments. Two days ago, employees of a finance company came to his house and pressured him to pay an installment of 30,000-40,000 rupees. They threatened to seize the tractor if he did not pay. The family alleged that the company employees forced them to sign and thumbprint an application. The application also stated that Prakash had taken a loan of 4 lakh rupees and would repay the entire amount by September 25th. If he did not do so, the company could seize his tractor, house, and land. The entire case appears to be a coerced mass suicide. Family members say the finance company was constantly threatening them to pay the installments and forcibly took their thumb impressions. Under these circumstances, farmer Prakash Ahirwar suffered a mental breakdown. The simultaneous deterioration of health among all family members suggests that they may have taken this extreme step due to debt and socio-economic pressure. However, this can only be confirmed after the postmortem report and police investigation. Family members say Prakash was under immense mental stress. The inability to pay the installments and the constant threats had broken him. He returned home after getting his TV repaired and had dinner with his family. But within a few hours, everything was destroyed. CSP Arun Kumar Soni said the case is being investigated. The cause of death will be clear only after the postmortem report is received, and further action will be taken based on that. This incident is not just a tragedy of one family, but reveals the reality of thousands of farmers and Dalit families who are burdened with debt and installments. Ankit Pachauri Courtesy: Hindi News
One village, two roads: A separate road worth ₹50 lakh was built to keep Dalits away from the main road. Dalit families said, “We want equal rights, not a separate road.”
While the administration is calling it a “public welfare” measure, Adi Dravidian families allege it is a deliberate conspiracy to permanently keep them off the main public road. Tiruvannamalai: The construction of a new road in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruvannamalai district has sparked controversy. While the administration is calling it a development measure, Scheduled Caste (SC) residents see it as a new wall perpetuating discrimination and untouchability. The case is in Mothakkal village in the Tharampattu taluk, where Collector K. Tharpagaraj announced the construction of a new cement road at a cost of ₹50 lakh on September 18th. This road is being built on private land where a dirt road currently exists. This dirt road is used by Scheduled Caste villagers to carry the body of a deceased member of their community to the cremation ground. The Collector also praised the Vanniyar landowners who donated the land for “public welfare.” However, Scheduled Caste residents say they never demanded a new and separate road. They were simply demanding the right to use the village’s main public road, Murugan Koil Street, which is used by everyone else. Adi Dravidar families stated that they had petitioned the Collector for a shared public road, not a separate path. Expressing their anguish, one resident said, “This move further reinforces the notion that people from our community do not have the right to equal status in the village.” Caste discrimination runs deep in Mothakkal village. For decades, approximately 200 Adi Dravidian families here have been forced to use an alternative dirt road to transport bodies to the crematorium. Aravind*, a resident of the village, explains, “Our people are afraid to use the main road. Two weeks ago, when a person died and we tried to use that road, the police and revenue officials discouraged us, saying, ‘Why create unnecessary problems when an alternative route already exists?’” Residents say that an atmosphere of fear has long been created by upper-caste villagers, leaving many Dalit families wondering if they will ever be able to safely transport the bodies of their loved ones on the main public road. After several instances of tension during attempts to use the public road, G. Muniappan, a resident of the village, filed a writ of mandamus in the Madras High Court in December 2024, seeking police protection for Scheduled Caste residents. In April 2025, the court directed that people could contact the police and they would provide all necessary assistance. However, four months later, residents allege that they are still not allowed to use the common road. Arvind* says, “When we ask for police protection, the police themselves are afraid of creating problems. What can we do then?” Mayan*, another resident, said, “This new road may be useful for farmers from the Vanniyar community to bring their tractors, but it is of no use to us.” Vetri Sangamithra, a VCK (Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi) leader from Tiruvannamalai, has described the new road as a “road of untouchability.” She alleged that it is a deliberate conspiracy to keep Scheduled Caste families away from the public road. He said, “Even though it’s officially called a public road, only people from the SC community will use it. People from the Adi Dravida caste will not use it.” Collector Tharpagaraj has responded to these allegations. He refuted all claims, saying, “Anyone can use both roads—the existing public road and the upcoming new road. The unpaved road becomes very bad during the rainy season. It becomes difficult for people to walk, let alone vehicles, let alone carry bodies. The new road is being built with this in mind. Work has begun and will be completed within a few days.” (*Names have been changed to conceal identities) Rajan Chaudhary Courtesy: Hindi News

Rahul can’t win polls by spreading false narrative of vote theft: Min
Prayagraj: State cooperative minister JPS Rathore on Sunday said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is making allegations of vote theft, should first talk about the theft of currency notes by his own party leaders. “Rahul had earlier spread propaganda in the name of Rafale and the Constitution, to which the people of the country have given a befitting reply by making the lotus bloom and will do so in the future as well,” he said. Rathore was in the city to attend “Namo Yuva Run”. He said Rahul cannot win the Bihar elections by spreading the false narrative of vote theft because the people of Bihar are intelligent and will give him a befitting reply. As part of the Seva Pakhwada (service fortnight) that was launched on Sept 17 ( Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday), “Namo Yuva Run” was organised on Sunday under the aegis of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) Prayagraj, the Sports Directorate of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow, and the Regional Sports Office, Prayagraj, carrying the message of a drug-free India. A large number of young people, wearing Namo Yuva Run T-shirts, ran for a drug-free India and social awareness. Chief guest JPS Rathore, and cabinet minister Sanjay Nishad flagged off the race at Chandrashekhar Azad Park gate. The race concluded at the Madan Mohan Malaviya Stadium, after passing through Hindu Hostel, Civil Line Hanuman Temple, Medical College, Balsan and Indian Press crossing. After the race, winners in both male and female categories were awarded prizes. On the occasion, Rathore said: “India has the largest number of young people in the world. They must strive to achieve the goal of making India a developed nation by 2047, and to achieve this, they must harness the power of their youth. Only by staying free from drugs and addiction can youth build a developed India.” He said youths should take inspiration from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s life and work for the nation and society. He added that “The PM interacts with youth and seeks their advice in the country’s development. This demonstrates his vision and the importance of youth in achieving a developed India. Nishad, meanwhile, said the talent of India’s youth is being recognized worldwide. If youth utilize their energy wisely, nothing is impossible.
