News India Live, Digital Desk: Just a day before the results of Bihar Assembly elections, when every party is calculating its victory and defeat, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was seen surrendering to God in Patna. Before the announcement of the results of this great test of politics, Nitish Kumar suddenly reached Patna City on Tuesday morning and offered prayers at the famous Badi Patandevi and Chhoti Patandevi temples.
Attendance with ministers
Nitish Kumar was not alone, two key aides and close ministers of his cabinet – Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and Ashok Chaudhary were also present with him. The three leaders worshiped Mata Shitala in the temple with full rituals and took her blessings.
After offering prayers at the temple, the Chief Minister’s convoy reached Takht Shri Harmandir Ji Patna Sahib Gurdwara, the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh, the holy tenth Guru of the Sikhs. Here Nitish Kumar bowed his head with full devotion and participated in the prayers.
What is the political meaning of this visit?
Although it is being described as a normal worship, but just before the election results, many political meanings are also being inferred from this religious visit of Nitish Kumar.
- Stress and anxiety: The exit poll results are showing a very close contest between the NDA and the Grand Alliance. In such a situation, it is natural for any leader to be worried. It is believed that in this environment of uncertainty, the Chief Minister has come to God to pray for his and his alliance’s victory.
- Trying to cater to all categories: By visiting both temples and Gurudwaras, Nitish Kumar has once again tried to convey the message that he takes every section of the society along.
This visit of Nitish Kumar is also an indication of how close and unpredictable the Bihar elections can be this time. At present, the leaders have sealed their fate in EVMs and now they are at the doorstep of God waiting for the results.
