The Hindu
He thanks PM Modi for remembering the LJP founder
Amid the tug of war to claim the Lok Janshakti Party legacy, a two-page message by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the presence of estranged uncle and Union Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras in Patna on Sunday for the event marking the first death anniversary of party founder warmed up party leader and MP Chirag Paswan for a future reunion in the family and in the NDA as well. Mr. Modi also spoke to Mr. Chirag Paswan, remembering his father’s contribution to politics. Several leaders cutting across party lines too reached Mr. Chirag Paswan’s residence in Patna to offer their tributes to the departed soul, but Chief Minister Nitish Kumar chose to offer his condolence in a one-line message. For the past few days, Mr. Chirag Paswan is said to have tried to meet Mr. Kumar to extend him an invitation for the event but the MP said he was not given time by the Chief Minister.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
