Time to remove my turban, says dy CM

Patna: Recalling his old vow, deputy chief minister Samrat Choudhary on Tuesday said that it is time for him to remove his turban and keep it at the feet of Lord Ram.
After CM Nitish Kumar switched side to Mahagathbandhan in 2022 by ditching the NDA, Choudhary started sporting a turban and vowed that he would take it off after ‘dethroning” the former.
“True that I had pledged to wear the turban until I made Nitish resign as the chief minister.But now that he has switched back to the NDA after resigning as the CM of the INDI Alliance, it is time for me to dedicate this turban to the feet of Lord Ram. The day Nitish Kumarji resigned as the CM of the INDI-Alliance and joined back the NDA, I announced that I would dedicate my turban to Lord Ram,” Choudhary said.
Choudhary will place his turban in the Ram Temple on Wednesday after shaving off his head.
Nitish joined back the NDA in January this year, after having developed “differences” with the Mahagathbandhan. This was his fifth crossover in the past ten years, preceding his ninth time as the CM.
This led to the collapse of the Mahagathbandhan government after which the NDA government was formed in the state.
BJP leaders Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Sinha were sworn in as the deputy chief ministers. ANI
