Bihar Assembly Election 2025: AAP Enters Fray With First List Of 11 Candidates, Sanjay Singh To Lead Campaign

New Delhi: With the release of its initial list of 11 candidates, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has formally entered the Bihar Assembly election contest.

Speaking to ANI on Tuesday, AAP MP Sanjay Singh stated that he and other senior party leaders will campaign in Bihar. The Bihar Assembly election is expected to be a three-cornered contest among the ruling NDA, the Mahagatbandhan, and Prashant Kishore’s Jan Suraaj.

Jan Suraaj has raised many of the same issues that AAP has been advocating. However, Singh emphasized the difference between promises and delivery. “We have already delivered on the ground, but Prashant Kishore is making promises only. Making promises and actually implementing them on the ground are two very different things,” he said.

Highlighting AAP’s achievements, Singh added, “We have created Mohalla Clinics, revolutionised education, and offered free water and electricity. In Delhi, buses are free for women. Our government in Punjab has restored water flow in previously dry canals, guaranteed 300 units of free electricity, and given jobs to thousands of young people. The true strength of AAP is its ability to meet people’s expectations.”

On the party’s campaign strategy in Bihar, Singh explained, “AAP’s Bihar unit has been preparing for the elections locally. As for the party’s national leadership participation, a full-fledged campaign involving the central leadership will ensue after nominations are finalised.”

Discussing key election issues, he said, “Will caste, religion, and vote-rigging become the main issues in this election, or will the focus shift toward concerns like healthcare, unemployment, and law and order? The people of Bihar will have to make that decision.”

Singh also urged voters to “teach the BJP a lesson,” accusing the party of attempting to delete votes in Bihar. “It is important to remember the assault on a Dalit Chief Justice. Bihar must use their voting rights to respond to such acts,” he added.

The race for one of the most prestigious political battles of the year has officially begun after the Election Commission announced the dates for the Bihar Assembly Elections. The 243 seats will go to the polls in two phases on November 6 and November 11, with counting of votes scheduled for November 14.

NEWSOM RIPS PRESIDENT

Gavin Newsom lashed out at Donald Trump on Monday, holding him responsible for staffing shortages during the government shutdown that left Hollywood Burbank and other airports without air traffic controllers for hours.

Air travelers faced frustrating delays and cancellations Monday evening at Burbank and other U.S. hubs as the government shutdown left air traffic control staff levels stretched thin.

“Thanks, @realDonaldTrump! Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15 pm to 10 pm today because of YOUR government shutdown,” the Governor of California wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

At Burbank, the control tower was unstaffed for almost six hours, with flight operations instead handled remotely by Southern California TRACON, an approach and departure facility based in San Diego. However, no one in the tower had direct eyes on planes landing and taking off, causing concern among already delayed passengers.

It has been six days since the government shutdown began after the Senate failed to pass a bill to fund federal agencies. On Monday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned the shutdown would put more stress on air traffic controllers, whose jobs are already extremely demanding.

In addition to the delays at Burbank, flights out of Newark Liberty International Airport were delayed Monday evening, and Denver International Airport also experienced delays.

The Republican and Democrat camps have each blamed one another for the crippling shutdown. The standoff centers around a demand by the Democrats regarding the extension of health care subsidies. If these subsidies are cut, it may result in sharply increased costs for millions of low-income Americans.

Trump has blamed the Democrats for blocking his resolution and stated that Republicans will hold out in the stalemate. Democratic members of Congress, in turn, accused Trump and Republicans of blatantly lying about Democratic opposition to a GOP-led government funding plan, particularly concerning claims that Democrats are pushing for healthcare benefits for undocumented immigrants, who cannot legally access federal healthcare programs.

When asked for comment on the shutdown causing travel chaos at airports, the White House press office sent The Independent an automated response reading:
“Please note that responses may be delayed due to the government shutdown caused by congressional Democrats.”

The White House website also features a banner stating “Democrats have shut down the government,” accompanied by a live count of the days and hours since the closure began.

Newsom has been particularly vocal in his efforts to lay the blame for the shutdown at the feet of the Trump administration. Last week, he trolled Trump over news that work will continue on the presidential ballroom despite the government shutdown, comparing him to the historical French queen Marie Antoinette.

“TRUMP MARIE ANTOINETTE SAYS, NO HEALTH CARE FOR YOU PEASANTS, BUT A BALLROOM FOR THE QUEEN!” the California governor’s press office wrote on X, mimicking Trump’s penchant for all-caps social media rants.

During previous U.S. government shutdowns under Barack Obama’s administration, Donald Trump was a vocal critic of the president, saying the situation was “pretty sad” and that “the whole world was laughing at us.”

“Problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top,” he said during a 2013 shutdown. “The president’s the leader and he’s got to get everybody in a room and he’s got to lead.”

Socceroos’ Bos living the dream at boyhood club

Jordy Bos used to watch Feyenoord highlights. Now, at just 22 years old, he is one of the stars of the show. The Socceroos left-back is dominating for his boyhood club, playing under his former idol, and is just eight months away from potentially featuring in his first World Cup.

Bos, one of the pivotal pieces of the Socceroos’ future, is only just scratching the surface of his promising career. Dutch powerhouse Feyenoord, managed by former Arsenal, Manchester United, and Netherlands striker Robin van Persie, currently sit at the top of the Eredivisie table.

Since joining the Rotterdam giants in July, Bos has become the first Australian to win the Eredivisie Player of the Month award. He has also impressed fans by scoring two sublime goals. The former Melbourne City sensation is reaping the rewards of a carefully managed plan to develop his career and play regularly in Europe.

Even Bos admits he can’t believe how well things have gone since his transfer from Belgian club Westerlo, where he battled two bad hamstring injuries last year.

“When I first went there, I didn’t really know what to expect,” Bos said. “But obviously it’s a big club, so it’s always going to be hard. Before I got there, I heard that the left-back was a little bit injured so I got to play my first game for the Champions League qualifications. From there, it just kept going and then when the other left-back got back, I kept my spot a bit.”

Bos, a Melburnian of Dutch descent, comes from a family of Feyenoord fans.

“Living in Australia when I was younger, it was hard to watch the games, but I remember my dad would always put the highlights on and stuff, so we would watch that,” he said. “It’s a huge deal for my family as well. The ones that live in Holland, I think they were just as excited as I was when they heard about the news. So it’s crazy for them as well, and they always want to come watch the games and stuff like that. So it’s pretty unreal and playing for them is just an honour.”

Bos is also pinching himself that he gets to play under club great Robin van Persie.

“It’s really cool,” he said. “Watching him when I was younger as well and he’s such a big player and icon in the football world. And seeing him in real life and talking to him, and having him there, it’s pretty surreal. I really enjoy it.”

Currently, Bos has joined the Socceroos for upcoming matches against Canada in Montreal on Saturday and the United States in Colorado next Wednesday. These matches provide another chance for him to cement his starting left-back role, especially with stalwart Aziz Behich among the A-League players not selected in this squad.

With a strong World Cup on the horizon and continued impressive performances for both club and country, Bos knows more opportunities could come his way.

“Either Premier League or Bundesliga — probably one of those two,” he said when asked about his future ambitions. “But for right now, obviously, just focusing on where I am. But that’s probably the goal.”

Hot-shooting Eagles battle Maroons, look to avoid second-half letdowns

Tab Baldwin reflected on the recent basketball game between Ateneo and La Salle, highlighting the contrasting performances throughout the match. He noted the choice of focusing on either the strong play Ateneo displayed in the first three quarters or the challenging moment when everything went south during one quarter.

“We’ll do both in the confines of our dugout and in our next practice [and] in the video session,” Baldwin said last Sunday following Ateneo’s 81-74 victory.

This balanced approach aims to address both the positives and areas for improvement as the team prepares for upcoming challenges.
