In today’s featured cartoon, Sandeep Adhwaryu draws parallels between the US presidential elections and Bihar polls. He notes that Trump may have lost the elections but his polarising politics continue in the country, and it remains to be seen if that will be the case for Bihar as well.
Kirtish Bhatt pokes fun at the Indian media organisations’ race to interview Kamala Harris relatives in India after she was elected as the first Indian-American Vice President in the US.
Mika Aziz draws from the Bihar exit polls, which predicted that incumbent Chief Minister Nitish Kumar may have to vacate his seat this year. However, with NDA leading the count today, it seems like he will hold onto his chief ministerial seat after all.
