DH Evening Brief: Nitish bats for Opposition unity; Pilot supporters upbeat about Rajasthan CM post

The INLD rally to celebrate late Devi Lal's birth anniversary on Sunday became a platform for the display of Opposition unity with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar calling for a "main front" of all non-BJP parties, including the Congress, at the national level against the BJP which he said can defeat the saffron party in 2024.

. After Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot declared that he would contest the Congress president poll, party workers and people in Sachin Pilot's constituency Tonk are upbeat that their long wait to see him heading the state will soon be a reality.

. The results of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for admission to postgraduate programmes will be announced on Monday, according to UGC Chairman Jagadesh Kumar.
