Wednesday marked a spectacular Holi across Bihar, where the festival of colors painted every corner with happiness. Urban thoroughfares echoed with laughter, while rural hamlets pulsed with group dances and color fights, uniting generations in celebration.
Adding a political hue, state Agriculture Minister and Danapur MLA Ramkripal Yadav turned Gandhi Maidan into his personal Holi headquarters. With supporters in tow, he sang soulful Phagwa geets, danced energetically, and orchestrated a massive color-throwing frenzy that left the field drenched in reds, yellows, and greens.
The gathering, a staple for four decades via the walkers’ association, brimmed with tradition. Yadav greeted the masses, particularly farmers, with Holi blessings, emphasizing prosperity and unity. ‘We’ve been doing this here for years—today’s no different, just brighter,’ he quipped.
In parallel, at Tej Pratap Yadav’s Harding Road abode, a high-spirited Holi milan was underway. The former minister’s X post hyped the event, featuring Vrindavan’s Rasleela troupe for authentic festivities. Whispers of Lalu Yadav’s past epic Holi events—famed for the playful kurta-tearing ritual at CM House—added a layer of sentimental charm.
As the sun set on these joyous scenes, Holi in Bihar reaffirmed its role as a great leveler, blending elite politics with grassroots glee in a tapestry of renewal and reconciliation.
