Monday’s visit by BJP chief Nitin Nabin to Patna turned into a festival of fervor, with party stalwarts forecasting a government formation in West Bengal. Workers packed Bapu Auditorium, offering a traditional Bihar-style welcome replete with tika, flowers, and slogans that echoed long after.
Minister Mangal Pandey labeled it an exhilarating chapter in BJP’s Bihar history. ‘Nabin, our native son now national president, inspires us to conquer West Bengal,’ he proclaimed, detailing how the leadership shift promises accelerated growth.
MP Dharmshila Gupta spoke of Bihar’s honor, vividly depicting the crowd’s adulation. She lauded PM Modi’s decision to hand reins to a young dynamic leader like Nabin, poised to elevate the party’s stature nationwide.
Sanjay Jaiswal highlighted the infectious zeal, unprecedented in scale. ‘This energy will resolve longstanding matters swiftly,’ he assured. Shahnawaz Hussain, by Nabin’s side from Delhi, noted the pervasive joy in Bihar over their leader’s homecoming.
Turning to national politics, Hussain criticized Rahul Gandhi’s antics, deeming his no-confidence threat against the Lok Sabha chair unbecoming. ‘It’s a sign of his inexperience in opposition duties,’ he observed.
Nabin’s Bihar sojourn reinforces BJP’s eastern ambitions, with leaders united in their Bengal vision. This blend of local pride and bold projections sets the stage for intensified campaigns, potentially reshaping regional power dynamics.
