On October 23, Indian media extensively reported on political developments in Bihar. The day began with several outlets noting the INDIA Alliance's potential move to name Tejashwi Yadav as their Chief Ministerial face. By late morning, it was widely confirmed across multiple sources that Tejashwi Yadav was declared the Mahagathbandhan's CM candidate for the 2025 elections, with Mukesh Sahani named as a Deputy CM candidate. This development follows previous days' reports on internal wrangling within the Mahagathbandhan. Separately, efforts to combat Delhi's air pollution remained in focus, with reports on artificial rain plans and the successful testing of cloud seeding in Burari, setting the stage for artificial rain on October 29.
