While celebrating culture is important, I hope this isn't just a photo-op. The real test is whether policies actually benefit the kisans they're celebrating with. The feast is nice, but fair MSP and timely subsidies matter more.

Bahut badhiya! Makar Sankranti ki hardik shubhkamnaye. Dahi-chura khana aur Surya dev ki puja karna, yehi to hamari sanskriti hai. BJP ka yeh prayas sarahniya hai ki wo party office mein bhi sanskritik mahaul bana rahe hain.

As someone living in Patna, it's interesting to see such large political events for a harvest festival. The blend of politics and tradition is very distinct here. Hope the message of charity and compassion mentioned extends beyond the event.

Good organisational show. When all senior leaders from the CM to ministers are present, it sends a message of unity. The Kisan Morcha doing this is a smart connect with the agrarian base. Let's see if this translates to ground-level support.

Festivals should be beyond politics. But if this event reminds people of our traditions and the importance of farmers, then it's a positive step. The mention of 'positive thinking' for Bihar is something we all need. Happy Sankranti to all! 🪁
