2A split between Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) and the BJP is imminent, with sources saying that a formal announcement by his party is likely on Sunday.
A dramatic U-turn in less than 24 hours. On Wednesday, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath had told NDTV that the government should not wait for a day to make the Food Security Bill a legal right. Today, the government said it would make "one more effort" to convince the Opposition. The Prime Minister reportedly conveyed this to his colleagues at a cabinet meeting this morning, thus deferring plans to use an ordinance to provide subsidised food to nearly 70% of India's population. The government will try to convene a special session of Parliament instead to clear the Rs. 1.3 lakh crore welfare reform.

A meeting of chief ministers in New Delhi to discuss internal security failed to arrive at a consensus on the government's watered down version of its proposed anti-terror body, National Counter Terrorism Centre or NCTC. Instead, the meeting degenerated into a war of words between Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister P Chidambaram.
We can't get basic consensus to run Parliament, but an order by the Chief Information Commission that political parties should come under RTI has seen a remarkable unity. Almost all political parties, barring the BJP, have rejected the order. The order cited a number of reasons why they should come under RTI - from the crores of tax breaks political parties receive to their influence on decision making - but the parties aren't buying it. The Congress even said that political parties are private organisations.
The BJP today denied that one of its most senior leaders, LK Advani, has openly expressed his opposition to the possible selection of Gujarat Chief Minister Narenda Modi as the party's candidate for prime minister. Is the cold war between LK Advani and Narendra Modi out in the open? We discuss on the 9 o'clock news.

Also today for the first time emerged the clear evidence of hawala links as well with over Rs 1 crore being recovered from an alleged hawala operator. Then the other surprise, Sahara, the main sponsors of the Indian cricket team is out of the IPL and won't renew their sponsorship of the India cricket team which runs out this year because of a fight with the BCCI over encashment of the bank guarantee.
