‘Save Democracy’: Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary Leads Massive Patna March
Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary leads the 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' march in Patna, slamming the Congress party for attacking democracy.
In a powerful display of political strength, Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary participated in the Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao (Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy) march on Wednesday. The event saw a massive gathering of supporters, party leaders, and public representatives who marched through the heart of Patna to voice their commitment to democratic values.
A Journey of Tribute and Resolve
The Chief Minister led the procession on foot, starting from Kargil Chowk and proceeding toward JP Golambar at Gandhi Maidan. The march culminated in a poignant moment as the CM paid floral tributes at the statue of Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan, recalling the legacy of the legendary leader who championed the cause of the people.
Slamming the Opposition's 'Democratic Show
Addressing a sea of supporters from a stage at Kargil Chowk, Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary launched a scathing attack on the Congress-led opposition. He accused them of attempting to dismantle the country's constitutional and democratic frameworks.
The CM pointedly reminded the crowd of the Emergency era, stating that those who once trampled upon fundamental rights and imposed an Emergency are now pretending to be the guardians of democracy. He remarked that if the opposition truly remembered the actions of their ancestors, they would lack the courage to face the public today.
Praising the Leadership of Narendra Modi
Turning his focus to the current administration, the Chief Minister hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for strengthening the democratic fabric of India. He credited the PM for:
- Accelerating the nation's progress on the path of development.
- Enhancing basic facilities, dignity, and respect for the common citizen.
- Elevating India's stature and strength on the global stage.
Choudhary argued that the repeated electoral victories of the Prime Minister are a testament to his hard work, asserting that in a true democracy, the people are supreme and they reward those who deliver results.
Condemning 'Abusive Language' and Political Despair
The Chief Minister expressed deep concern over the rhetoric used by the Congress party, claiming they have resorted to abusive language due to their inability to win elections, regardless of whether ballot papers or EVMs are used.
He specifically condemned remarks made against the late parents of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing such behavior as unacceptable in a civilized society. He warned that those who "play with democracy" would eventually be answered by the people of the country.
Vision for a Prosperous Bihar
Reflecting on the political landscape of the state, the CM mentioned that the NDA secured 202 seats in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He noted that while Nitish Kumar initially assumed office, the collective trust of the leadership subsequently placed the responsibility of the Chief Ministership on him.
The Chief Minister concluded by emphasizing the collective goal of achieving a "developed India" as envisioned by PM Modi and a "prosperous Bihar" as envisioned by Nitish Kumar, reaffirming that the BJP stands firmly as a protector of democracy.
High-Profile Participation
The march was not just a show of public support but a gathering of the political elite. Along with the Chief Minister, BJP state president Sanjay Saraogi addressed the crowd. The event saw the participation of several state ministers, Members of Parliament (MPs), MLAs, members of the Legislative Council, and various other dignitaries.
