In a significant political move, CPI Rajya Sabha MP P Sandosh Kumar has called on the Union Civil Aviation Minister to name the forthcoming Bihta Airport in Bihar after the renowned peasant leader, Swami Sahajanand Saraswati.
Sahajanand, a pivotal figure in India's agrarian history, was known for his relentless struggle against the oppressive zamindari system. Kumar emphasized that the symbolic gesture would honor a leader whose work continues to inspire farmers nationwide.
The plea aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent inauguration of Patna Airport's new terminal and the laying of a foundation stone for the Bihta Airport's new civil enclave.
