Leading figures of Bihar's JD(U) party, including former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, gathered to commemorate Bhamashah Jayanti, a tribute to the 16th-century ally of Maharana Pratap.

Bhamashah is celebrated for donating his immense wealth to support Rana Pratap's resistance against the Mughal Empire, making his legacy pivotal in Mewar's history.

Nishant Kumar announced plans for a statewide tour starting next month, aiming to educate citizens on his father's two-decade political contributions. The former chief minister's presence added energy to party members, even as his busy schedule required an early departure.
