IndiaTimes Sunday, 28 January 2024
Senior Congress figure Shashi Tharoor sarcastically commented on JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar's recent political decision to exit the Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar in his 'word of the day.' Tharoor characterized Kumar as a "snollygoster," denoting a cunning and unprincipled politician. Tharoor shared a 2017 social media post, reminiscing about Kumar's earlier exit from the Bihar Mahagathbandhan government when he formed an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) despite previous conflicts.

On Wednesday, the Election Commission took action against former Telangana CM and BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao, barring him from campaigning for 48 hours, effective from 8 pm today.
