The Bihar government has approved Z Category Security for Bihar Deputy CMs Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and Bijendra Prasad Yadav. The decision came soon after the new government took charge in Bihar. Officials said both leaders will now receive high-level protection along with trained commandos.

Under the new arrangement, Z Category Security for Bihar Deputy CMs will include around 22 security personnel. The team will consist of police officers and commandos from central forces such as Central Reserve Police Force and Indo-Tibetan Border Police. The security cover will also include escort vehicles, residential protection, and security while traveling.

Both leaders are senior members of Janata Dal (United) and currently serve as deputy chief ministers in the government led by Samrat Choudhary. Earlier, some deputy CMs had received Z Plus security, which is a higher level of protection.

The current government formed after Nitish Kumar stepped down from the chief minister’s post. For now, the chief minister and the two deputy CMs are managing the administration until the cabinet expands next month.

The JDU ticket dispute has shaken Nitish Kumar’s party ahead of the Bihar Elections. Many long-time JDU leaders are upset over seat sharing. Senior leader Vijay Chaudhary said the anger of those who did not get tickets is natural. He added that talks are happening to fix the issue soon.

Some JDU seats went to BJP and LJP. This move angered old leaders like Ratnesh Sada and Jama Khan. Nitish Kumar acted after hearing feedback from party members. The final list of NDA seats is not out yet. After that, steps will be taken to calm unhappy leaders.

The JDU ticket dispute has become a real challenge. The party must finish its poll work and keep unity. If peace is not restored, seat talks may get harder.

Prashant Kishor’s Family Benefit Card Campaign in Bihar

Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party has launched the Family Benefit Card scheme ahead of Bihar elections. The focus key phrase Prashant Kishor Family Benefit Card highlights the promise of ₹20,000 monthly support for families. The campaign has quickly gained traction, with the party claiming over 50 lakh registration forms collected since August 27.

Under the Family Benefit Card, families are promised five types of benefits: ₹12,000 monthly for job security, ₹2,000 for pensions to the elderly, widows, and disabled, ₹2,500 for labor support in farming, ₹1,000 for school education, and loans of up to ₹5 lakh for women at just 4% interest along with ₹2,500 assistance. The party says only one family member needs to register for eligibility.

The scheme has stirred political debate in Bihar. RJD is promoting its own “Mai Bahin Maan Yojana” with ₹2,500 for women, while BJP’s Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary labeled Kishor’s plan as a fraud. JD(U) leader Vijay Chaudhary also dismissed it as empty promises.

Kishor, addressing public gatherings during his yatras, appealed for votes by stressing education and jobs over symbolic politics. He also hinted at contesting elections, possibly from Raghopur or his hometown Karahgar, signaling his intent for direct political entry.
