Bihar: New CM Samrat Choudhary visits temple in Saran

New Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary visits Baba Harihar Nath Temple, offers prayers for state's prosperity and highlights development under Modi and Nitish Kumar.

"India is progressing rapidly under the leadership of Narendra Modi. - Samrat Choudhary"

Patna, April 17

Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, along with his family, on Friday visited the revered Baba Harihar Nath Temple at Sonepur in the Saran district, where he offered prayers for the peace and prosperity of the state.

The Chief Minister spent around 20 minutes inside the sanctum sanctorum, performing special worship rituals.

Elaborate security arrangements were put in place across the temple premises ahead of his visit, and he was accorded a Guard of Honour by the local administration of Saran district.

A large number of devotees and local residents gathered at the temple during the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said that India is progressing rapidly under the leadership of Narendra Modi.

He emphasised that Bihar has witnessed significant development over the past two decades under former chief minister Nitish Kumar and expressed hope that the state will continue on the path of growth.

Since assuming office, Samrat Choudhary has been making a series of visits to prominent religious sites across Bihar.

Ahead of his swearing-in on April 15, he had offered prayers at the Rajvanshi Nagar Hanuman Temple.

He later visited the historic Takht Sri Harimandir Ji Patna Sahib Gurudwara on April 16, seeking blessings for the state.

During the visit, the Chief Minister listened to Shabad Kirtan, spent time in the spiritual atmosphere of the Gurdwara, and learned about the historical significance of the site.

The visit to Baba Harihar Nath Temple marks a continuation of this spiritual outreach, which has drawn attention in political circles.

Observers view these visits as both a reflection of the Chief Minister's personal faith and a symbolic beginning to his tenure.

While supporters see it as a positive and culturally rooted gesture, the opposition is also closely monitoring these developments.

Meanwhile, personnel from the Saran Police ensured tight security and ceremonial protocols during the visit.

The Chief Minister's early public engagements suggest an attempt to blend governance with cultural and spiritual connection, setting the tone for his tenure in office.

Visiting temples and gurudwaras is fine, but the real 'prayer' we need is for better roads, jobs, and schools. I hope after these symbolic visits, the focus shifts entirely to the ground realities of Bihar. The people need action, not just rituals.

Good to see him visiting diverse religious sites - Baba Harihar Nath, a Hanuman temple, and Patna Sahib Gurudwara. This sends a positive message of unity and respect for all faiths in our diverse state. Jai Bihar!

While I respect personal faith, the elaborate security and guard of honour for a temple visit seems like a significant use of public resources. Can these visits be more low-key so administration isn't disrupted? Just a thought.

Sonepur's Baba Harihar Nath temple is a very ancient and powerful site. His visit there is auspicious. It shows he understands the cultural fabric of Bihar. Now, let's see the blueprint for development. The youth are waiting.

He acknowledged Nitish Kumar's work of two decades. That's a mature and respectful stance. Politics aside, continuity in development is key. Hoping for a stable and progressive tenure. All the best to the new CM!
