Bihar’s political epicenter pulsed with devotion as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar attended Saraswati Puja at JD(U)’s Patna office Friday. The IT cell’s initiative ahead of Basant Panchami wove religion with intrigue, spotlighting family dynamics in the party’s evolution.
After wrapping up Samriddhi Yatra duties in Muzaffarpur, Kumar performed elaborate worship, beseeching Goddess Saraswati for Bihar’s and India’s flourish. Union Minister Lalan Singh and Nitish’s son Nishant were prominent, the latter initiating proceedings with devout rituals.
Bhajans and offerings created a serene vibe, punctuated by leaderly exchanges. Nishant, revered for his unassuming ethos, shared with press: ‘Here for Maa Saraswati’s wisdom blessings; Basant Panchami greetings to everyone.’ His eloquence reignited discourse on his prospects.
A nudge from Lalan Singh implied readiness for Nishant’s political immersion, fanning flames of inheritance buzz that’s long captivated Bihar. Nitish’s aversion to nepotism notwithstanding, Nishant’s prolific event participation hints at momentum. Strategists posit it could bolster JD(U)’s youth outreach.
This convergence of piety and politics underscores Bihar’s nuanced power play. With Nishant’s stock rising, the party eyes renewed vigor, potentially reshaping alliances and voter loyalties in the coming electoral battles.
