**Great Respect Within China’s Power Inner Circle for PM Modi and India’s Posturing**
Within China’s inner circles of power, there is significant regard for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government. Beijing sees India not just as a neighbor but as a profound civilizational power with a distinct legacy. China respects India’s firm stance in challenging US tariff pressures and rhetoric, viewing it as a government that confidently upholds its sovereignty.
In the Chinese Communist Party’s view, India is a rising global player deeply rooted in its ancient traditions, mirroring China’s own civilizational identity. This mutual respect underpins optimism for deeper cooperation amid complex geopolitical dynamics.

**Prashant Kishore’s Jan Suraj Party to Announce Candidates for All Seats by First Week of October?**
The Jan Suraj Party, led by political strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor, is gearing up to shake Bihar’s political landscape with the likely announcement of candidates for all 243 assembly seats by the first week of October.
Political analysts suggest Kishor’s move will firmly pitch Bihar into a three-way contest, turning the battle between the JDU-BJP alliance and the RJD-led front into a triangular fight. Though the party remains untested at the ballot box, Kishor’s grassroots outreach and organizational efforts have gained significant attention, especially among young voters and sections disillusioned with traditional parties.
Observers believe his entry could redraw caste and community equations, making the electoral arithmetic unpredictable. While it remains to be seen how much the Jan Suraj Party can convert enthusiasm into actual votes, Kishor’s all-in approach signals his intent to position himself as a formidable alternative in Bihar’s turbulent political arena.
