IndiaTimes Thursday, 26 October 2023
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's close aide and JD(U) Minister Ashok Kumar Choudhary criticized PM Narendra Modi for allegedly trying to change the country's name from 'India' to 'Bharat' through the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT). Choudhary challenged Modi to bring a bill in Parliament if he really wanted to change the name. He also questioned the significance of installing an idol of Ram Lalla in the Ayodhya temple and urged the PM to focus on addressing issues such as inflation and job scarcity instead.

Darren Jones criticises government's failed smoking ban

Labour's Darren Jones has criticized the prime minister for "not prioritising" the smoking ban in the final week of parliament. Rishi Sunak said he was "disappointed" his bill banning young people from ever being able to smoke legally will not pass before the general election. The Tobacco and Vapes Bill is not included in the legislation being rushed through by MPs ahead of Parliament shutting down on Friday. "If we win the election on July the 4th, we will be setting out our own legislative plans in a Labour King speech in due course and we will list our priorities at that time," Mr Jones said.
