The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) contends that the residents of Bihar should have the primary claim to government jobs within the state. The party is currently investigating various legal avenues to establish a comprehensive domicile policy that ensures job reservations for Bihar’s citizens, as stated by RJD’s National Chief Spokesperson, Prof. Manoj Kumar Jha, on Tuesday.In discussing the party’s vision for the state’s progress, the RJD leader emphasized that addressing employment and healthcare are vital components for comprehensive development. He assured that, if elected, the party would make every effort to tackle these issues effectively.

He mentioned, “Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, has been engaging with legal experts to discuss multiple aspects of a domicile policy to ensure its resilience against potential challenges once the Mahagathbandhan government implements it after the assembly elections.”

A significant portion of the unemployed youth in Bihar is frustrated with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who eliminated domicile-based reservations for teaching positions in government schools, claiming it was necessary to attract talented educators from across India to elevate the quality of education.

With assembly elections on the horizon, the push for a domicile policy is gaining traction. Last year, a youth parliament convened in Patna, where Prashant Kishor, founder of the Jan Suraaj Party, advocated for such a policy, emphasizing that the first claim to state jobs should belong to Biharis.

Manoj Jha also revealed that the party is looking into methods to assist job seekers in the state, aiming to alleviate the financial burden associated with job applications.

“Our political struggle in Bihar transcends any particular party or individual. We are fighting against unemployment, inflation, migration, and poverty. Reflecting on the 2020 Bihar assembly elections, while attempts were made to incite religious division, the people of Bihar endorsed our pursuit of employment and an improved healthcare system,” Jha asserted.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
