CBI seeks sanction to prosecute Laloo Yadav

The CBI Director approached Bihar Governor A R Kidwai to seek his sanction to prosecute Chief Minister Laloo Yadav and three State ministers in the conspiracy case, RC 20/96, in the Fodder scam. The ministers against whom permission for prosecution has been sought are Bhola Ram Toofani (Animal Husbandry), Vidya Sagar Nishad (Labour Minister) and Tulsi Singh (Planning Minister and former animal husbandry minister).

BJP meet takes stock of achievements

The Maharashtrs State executive of the Bharatiya Janata Party after commending itself for its recent successes at the local government body elections, set out to discuss the organisational plans of the party for the next few months, at the party's two-day executive meet, the first major political event in Kudal, near Shiv Sena minister Narayan Rane's constituency (Kankavli).

Troubled transition

Critics love to describe one as an ambitious anti-hero and the other as a reluctant leader-in-the-making. And indeed, the nephew and son of Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray are in a league of their own in the roller-coaster world of Indian politics. The Thackeray clan hasn't acquired dynastic status yet, but they are very nearly there.
