I realised my limitations when, despite the best of intentions, I could not help the public in matters that fell beyond the police&#8217;s ambit&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Asserting that the fledgling outfit will contest the assembly polls &#8220;100 per cent&#8221;, Mr Lande, however, evaded a direct reply to pointed queries about his own possibility of entering the fray.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are at present focusing on building the organisation. You can consider all candidates of the Hind Sena Party as fighting on behalf of Shivdeep Lande&#8221;, added the officer.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed &#8220;I am not looking for any shortcuts to enjoying power. After my resignation, I had received the offer of a Rajya Sabha ticket from an established party. But I was pursuing my own ideals. I travelled across Bihar and realised that there is a scope for a political alternative&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><i>(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u200bFormer IPS officer Shivdeep Lande on Tuesday announced the formation of a new political outfit &#8216;Hindu Sena Party&#8217; which, he declared, will contest the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former IPS officer Shivdeep Lande on Tuesday announced the formation of a new political outfit &#8216;Hindu Sena Party&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":124230,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ljtg96bo_hindu-sena-party-bihar_625x300_08_April_25-IQHyAe.jpeg",1200,738,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ljtg96bo_hindu-sena-party-bihar_625x300_08_April_25-IQHyAe-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ljtg96bo_hindu-sena-party-bihar_625x300_08_April_25-IQHyAe-300x185.jpeg",300,185,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ljtg96bo_hindu-sena-party-bihar_625x300_08_April_25-IQHyAe-768x472.jpeg",640,393,true],"large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ljtg96bo_hindu-sena-party-bihar_625x300_08_April_25-IQHyAe-1024x630.jpeg",640,394,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ljtg96bo_hindu-sena-party-bihar_625x300_08_April_25-IQHyAe.jpeg",1200,738,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ljtg96bo_hindu-sena-party-bihar_625x300_08_April_25-IQHyAe.jpeg",1200,738,false],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ljtg96bo_hindu-sena-party-bihar_625x300_08_April_25-IQHyAe-825x575.jpeg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ljtg96bo_hindu-sena-party-bihar_625x300_08_April_25-IQHyAe-590x410.jpeg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"","author_link":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/?author=0"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/?cat=1\" rel=\"category\">Uncategorized<\/a>","tag_info":"Uncategorized","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=124229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/124230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=124229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=124229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=124229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
