Patna, Jan 14 (NationPress) The Dahi-Chura feast organized by the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) in Patna to celebrate Makar Sankranti incited considerable political discourse on Tuesday.
The presence of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, along with Water Resources Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, marked a significant moment that could have indicated unity or strategic cooperation. However, the absence of the host, Chirag Paswan, to greet the dignitaries became a focal point of discussion. Instead, the party’s state president Raju Tiwari and other senior officials welcomed CM Nitish Kumar and the other attendees.
Upon his arrival, CM Nitish Kumar paid homage to the late Ram Vilas Paswan by laying flowers at his portrait, a gesture that underscored the profound respect shared between the two leaders despite evolving political circumstances. He also engaged briefly with party workers before departing.
The absence of Chirag Paswan, who was supposed to host the event, led to speculation regarding the political ramifications of this incident. Questions arose as to whether this was simply a scheduling conflict or if it carried deeper political significance.
Chirag Paswan’s choice to be absent during such an important event is being scrutinized as a potential statement within the intricate political landscape of Bihar. In response to the situation, LJP (RV) state president Raju Tiwari explained that the Chief Minister arrived earlier than planned, and Chirag Paswan was en route at that time.
He underscored the cordial relationship shared between CM Nitish Kumar and the party, referring to him as a “guardian” and expressing appreciation for his unexpected visit.
“Nitish Kumar paid tribute to Ram Vilas Paswan and casually remarked that the LJP office is ‘my house’ — this is significant for us. He is indeed our guardian,” Tiwari stated.
Chirag Paswan had also extended invitations to leaders from the NDA coalition, including Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, Vijay Kumar Sinha, and BJP State President Dilip Jaiswal. However, they were also absent when the Chief Minister arrived at the location.
This incident highlights how such cultural events are often infused with political meaning, with each gesture, timing, and comment serving as material for analysis within the complex fabric of Bihar politics.
