Neetu Chandra paired opposite Chirag Paswan?

Of late there have been murmurs around Neetu Chandra being paired opposite Chirag Paswan. For the uninitiated, Chirag is the son of politician Ram Vilas Paswan and has been nurturing Bollywood dreams for quite some time now.

A source close to Neetu stated, "She may or not be a part of the project. It would be interesting though if Chirag and Neetu come together since it would be a unique pairing. Considering the fact that both of them hail from Bihar, it would be a full-on Bihar force in the offering."

The source goes on to add, "From the current generation, Neetu and Chirag are the new entrants and it would be quite an interesting preposition. They both look good together and if things work out then there is a good probability of the two being paired together for this film. In any case quite a few film personalities today are hailing from Bihar."

"We know about Madhavan and Imtiaz Ali. Other than that Jehangir Surti (director of AA DEKHEN ZARA) also hails from Bihar. Shatrughan Sinha's son and daughter would be seen on the big screen soon, Shekhar Suman has already made a good name for himself while Adhyayan Suman is showing a good rise in stocks as well", he rattles down a few names here, "It's pretty much a 'Jai Bihar' situation currently."

When contacted, Neetu refused to comment and neither agree nor deny being a part of the project. For the records, she is currently working with Tanushree Dutta, who again hails from Bihar, in Jagmohan Mundra directed APARTMENT.link

Despite defeat, Paswan happy secular parties won

Taking his defeat in polls in stride, Lok Janashakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan on Saturday said he is happy that secular parties have emerged victorious ending the prospects of communal forces to come into power.

"It is pleasant that secular parties under the banner of UPA have won all across the country and the prospects of NDA which has been trying to come into power have ended," Paswan told reporters here.

Reacting to his defeat in Hajipur to JD(U)'s Ram Sunder Das, the Union minister said that winning and losing are parts of the game and he would continue to serve the people of Hajipur.

"As far as Bihar is concerned, you have your wins and misses. I have served people. Nobody can say that Paswan has not worked for Hajipur. I had done for the development of the constituency whatever I could have done. Despite all these works you lose, it is just the wish of the people. I will continue to serve them," he said.

Asked whether his parting ways from Congress led to his defeat, Paswan said, "In some places Congress has definitely did well but it was not as effective in Hajipur. Therefore, saying that I lost because of not having allied with the Congress is premature."

"But certainly if the strength of all these parties had been united it would have shown its impact," he added.

On a question if his joining hands with Lalu Prasad led to his rout, Paswan said he did not have any other option that time as he had already said he could not go with NDA.

"But, it is too early to say these things," he said.link

People voted for development in Bihar : Nitish Kumar

Congratulating the people of the state for the Janata Dal (United) led NDA’s sweeping win in the general elections, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday said people voted for development and peace.

Addressing a press conference here, Kumar said the people wanted the development of the state and that is what they voted the NDA back to power.

He said the thumping success of the NDA in the state was in continuation of the 2005 Assembly elections.

“The verdict is continuity of what people of the state voted for in 2005, while giving us the majority in assembly elections,” Kumar said.

Criticising RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan, Kumar said the people had rejected the ‘negative politics’ of the two.

Kumar added that the verdict would certainly help the state in achieving what has been lost in the past, and it would witness a surge in developmental activities.

“I want the trend to go ahead,” Kumar said.

He constantly tried to evade questions regarding his future course of action and whether his party would support the UPA in forming the government at the Center,but reiterated that Bihar must be given a ‘Special Status’.link
