Overview
- Nishant Kumar, who launched the ‘Sadbhav Yatra’ on Sunday, started from West Champaran’s Valmiki Nagar to open a months-long grassroots tour.
- Following Sunday’s send-off on a branded ‘Sadbhav Rath’, he reached Valmiki Nagar on Monday to kick off the first phase with stops in Bagaha and Bettiah.
- He cast the journey as a unity drive that takes everyone along and as a push to strengthen JD(U) at the booth level while showcasing two decades of Nitish-era development.
- JD(U) leaders, including Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, endorsed the effort, and BJP figures such as Sanjay Saraogi and Ram Kripal Yadav offered public good wishes.
- The campaign draws on Champaran’s Gandhi legacy and Nitish’s past yatras, and it unfolds as Nitish moves to the Rajya Sabha and the BJP’s Samrat Choudhary leads the state government.
