Rajesh Kumar, the newly appointed President of the Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee, has stated that his primary goal as BPCC President is to uphold the Constitution of India and bolster the party’s presence in Bihar through collaboration with party workers and senior leaders.

During his first media engagement as BPCC President at the party’s headquarters, Sadakat Ashram, in Patna on Saturday, he expressed, “I am committed to fulfilling the expectations of our leadership — safeguarding the Constitution of India while advocating for the upliftment of Dalit, marginalized, and backward communities in Bihar.”

Rajesh Kumar emphasized that his elevation to the role of Bihar Congress chief is evidence that Rahul Gandhi’s commitment to social justice and proper representation for the Dalit community is more than mere rhetoric.

“Many have questioned Rahul Gandhi’s commitment to Dalit empowerment within the party. He has demonstrated this time and again, whether it’s the push for increased reservations in Telangana or the appointments of key party leaders. This is evident not just in my case but also when looking at other state leaders, such as Odisha Congress President Bhakt Charan Das and Maharashtra Congress President Harshwardhan Sapkal,” he noted.

He emphasized his intention to collaborate closely with party leaders and workers to strengthen the party’s foundation in anticipation of upcoming elections. “Since 2015, the Congress party’s vote share has been steadily increasing. You can see the difference if you compare our performance in the Lok Sabha with previous assembly elections. My singular goal is to work alongside party members to further elevate the party’s standing.”

Extending his greetings to the people of Bihar on the occasion of Bihar Diwas, he affirmed, “In line with the rich and illustrious traditions of Bihar, I will strive to restore the party’s golden era in the state.”

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.
