Before returning to Ranchi, Nadda is understood to have gained the support of many traditional music lovers in Jharkhand, Bihar and West Bengal by awarding  Manoj Kedia and his brother Mor Mukut Kedia who had rocked in these parts of the country through their sitar and sarod jugalabandi.

Inquiry revealed that since 1975, Manoj, a santur player was performing jugalabandi with his brother Mor Mukut, a sitar player. Whenever they performed a Jugalbandi people were left amazed after listening to them, especially in West Bengal.

Their father Sambhu Dayal Kedia, a nationally acclaimed Tabla player took Mor Mukut to Sarod at the age of 7 under the guidance of Praja Nandi jee, Acharya Raja Ram Shukla. In view of their excellent record in the traditional music sector, BJP President Nadda awarded him.
