Bihar | Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar visited the residence of Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Sunday to partake in the ritual of “Kharna Prasad,” a traditional offering consumed by devotees before beginning the intense 36-hour-long fast for Chhath Puja.
Chirag Paswan, the leader of the Lok Janshakti Party-Ram Vilas, shared pictures of the event on social media, capturing the moment when Kumar joined his family for the occasion at their residence in Shri Krishna Puri, Patna.
On his social media handle, Paswan expressed his gratitude, posting, “Thank you, honourable Chief Minister, for coming to my home and partaking in Kharna Prasad. My family and I are grateful for the good wishes you expressed during the meeting.”
The images, which have gone viral, show Nitish Kumar interacting with Chirag Paswan, along with his close family members, including his mother, Reena Paswan, and his brother-in-law, Arun Bharti, the LJP-R MP from Jamui. Bharti had previously represented the Jamui Lok Sabha seat before his shift to Hajipur, the constituency associated with Paswan’s father.
The meeting has sparked interest in Bihar’s political circles, as it reflects a moment of camaraderie and mutual respect between the two leaders, even as both are leading distinct political entities in the state.
