Will Oppn leaders meet in Champaran or Rajgir?
Patna: It has not been talked about yet that if the meeting of Opposition parties is held in Bihar then where will it be held? Usually such meetings take place in the capital. So, till now leaders have been meeting only in Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata or Delhi. That’s why it is naturally believed in Bihar that if there is a meeting of Opposition, it will be held in Patna. Apart from Patna, two more places are being discussed, where Nitish Kumar can hold a meeting of Opposition parties.
The first place is Champaran. Opposition parties may meet in East or West Champaran. Champaran has both religious and historical importance. Maharishi Valmiki’s ashram in West Champaran is where the Ramayana was composed and where Sita found shelter. In this way it is the creation land of Ramayana, the refuge of Sita and the birthplace of Luv-Kush. Similarly, there is a place in East Champaran from where Mahatma Gandhi started the Satyagraha against the British. The drawback of both these places is that there is no direct air service, no airstrip and no good accommodation facilities. Despite this, almost every political campaign of Nitish Kumar starts from Champaran.
The second place is Rajgir, which is very much liked by the Chief Minister. Instead of Patna, the conference of opposition parties can also be held in Rajgir. This place also has a lot of historical importance. This is Bodhgaya, where Mahatma Buddha attained enlightenment. Its special thing is that it is very close to Patna. Secondly, there is the facility of air flight. There is an international airport and good accommodation facilities. So, Nitish Kumar has to decide which of these places he chooses if he wants to give a political message from the meeting of Opposition parties.
