Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary paid a visit to Takht Sri Harimandir Sahib in Patna shortly after assuming office. This visit marked his first as CM to the revered Sikh shrine. Upon arrival at 1 p.m., he entered the Darbar Sahib, showing respect by bowing before Guru Maharaj to seek blessings for Bihar’s prosperity and development.
During his visit, Chief Minister Choudhary highlighted India’s rapid progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, drawing inspiration from Guru Gobind Singh’s teachings. He praised Bihar’s significant development under Nitish Kumar’s governance over the past two decades and expressed optimism for the state’s continued growth trajectory.
Reflecting on his past involvement during the 350th Prakash Parv celebrations of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Choudhary mentioned his contributions to the shrine’s developmental projects. He expressed a sense of connection and nostalgia revisiting the site as Chief Minister.
While at the shrine, the Chief Minister engaged in Shabad Kirtan, immersed himself in the spiritual ambiance of the gurdwara, and learned about the site’s historical importance. He was honored by the Gurdwara Management Committee with a ceremonial sword as a gesture of respect.
Notably, prior to his swearing-in ceremony, Choudhary had also offered prayers at the Hanuman Temple in Rajvanshi Nagar. Having taken office as the 24th Chief Minister of Bihar, he has already conducted two consecutive meetings with senior officials, urging them to accelerate development projects.
The visit to Takht Sri Harimandir Sahib, known as one of Sikhism’s holiest sites and the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, symbolizes a spiritual commencement to Samrat Choudhary’s tenure as Chief Minister.
