During his visit, Mr. Shah will address public and party meetings at Sasaram and Nawada
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Bihar again for the fourth time since the JD(U) snapped its ruling ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the State in August 2022.
During his visit, Mr. Shah will address public and party meetings at Sasaram and Nawada to mark the birth anniversary of emperor Ashoka.
Earlier, Mr. Shah had visited Purnia, Kishanganj in September 2022; Sitab Diara in Saran district in October last year; and Valmikinagar and Patna on February 25, 2023.
The JD(U) had severed its ruling ties with the BJP on August 9, 2022 to form mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) government in the State.
Recently, addressing a programme on the birth anniversary of emperor Ashoka organised by ruling party JD(U) in Patna, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar appealed to the people to be on guard against the BJP and their effort to “exploit emperor Ashoka’s birth anniversary function for their political gain”.
“Some people will come from Delhi too to celebrate emperor Ashoka’s birth anniversary function... be guard on their effort”, Mr. Kumar said without taking name of the senior BJP leader and Union Minister Amit Shah.
Mr. Shah, earlier in his public address in Purnia, had announced that “doors of the BJP to Nitish Kumar have been shut forever now”.
The Opposition Congress demanded that the government open the Gandhi Vatika Museum, depicting Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy and freedom struggle, built at a cost of ₹85 crore in Jaipur’s Central Park last year, during the Congress-led regime in Rajasthan. The museum has not been opened to the public, reportedly because of the administration’s engagements with the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
