True that I had pledged to wear the turban until I made Nitish Kumar resign as the Chief Minister. But now that he has switched back to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) after resigning from the I.N.D.I.A bloc, it is time for me to dedicate this turban to the feet of Lord Ram.”
Now, Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary is free from turban( Pagri).
Incidentally, the day Nitish Kumarji had resigned as the Chief Minister of the INDI-Alliance and joined back the NDA, I had announced that I would dedicate my turban to Lord Ram," Choudhary had told media on July 2.
The change from Pagri to non pagri has come after 22 months during which Nitish quit NDA, joined I.N.D.I.A block only to rejoin NDA.
And on Wednesday morning, he took a dip in the Saryu River, symbolically dedicating his turban to Lord Shri Ram, which he had worn for the past 22 months. Following this, Choudhary's supporters enthusiastically began chanting "Jai Shri Ram."
They also expressed that the Deputy Chief Minister had reverently dedicated his turban to Lord Shri Ram. Choudhary also offered prayers at the Hanuman Garhi temple in Ayodhya.
After Bihar CM Nitish Kumar jumped ship to the Mahagathbandhan in 2022 after ditching the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Choudhary started sporting a turban and vowed that he would take it off after "dethroning" the former.
