Locals raise slogans, set fire to posters of CM Nitish Kumar and Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav during ‘Samadhan Yatra’

Locals in Dighari Panchayat in Katihar's Korha block on Sunday raised slogans against Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar during his 'Samadhan Yatra' and alleged that they were not allowed to meet him. The protesters also burnt posters of the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav. Nitish Kumar embarked on a nationwide 'Samadhan Yatra' on January 5.

During the yatra, which will pass through 18 districts, feedback will be sought from the public on the work done in the state over the last 18 years. Earlier on January 25, the Bihar Chief Minister walked several blocks of Bhojpur district as part of his 'Samadhan Yatra'.

At an event on the sidelines of the yatra at Tirthakoul village in Sandesh block, a farmer who was in the audience stood up and demanded that canal water be provided for irrigation. The Bihar CM visited two blocks of Bhojpur district during his yatra. Earlier on January 19, the CM addressed another event at Tirthakoul village in Sandesh block, which was also attended by his deputy Tejashwi Yadav.

The CM was seen marching in the company of his security escorts. Around him was a crowd of supporters chanting 'Nitish Kumar Zindabad'. The objective of the yatra is to review the implementation of government programs and hold meetings with officials. Kumar started the yatra from Bettiah West Champaran. The detailed schedule of the yatra has been released by the Bihar Cabinet Secretariat Department.
