Patna, Jan 14 (TheBiharPost/IBNS): Scores of leaders turned up at the Patna residence of RJD chief Lalu Prasad to enjoy feast to on the occasion of Makar Sankrati—marking the transition of the sun into the zodiacal sign of Makara (Capricorn) on its celestial path.

On this occasion, the guests were served flattened rice with curd. Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi themselves served food to some of the guests.


Prominent ones who called on Lalu Prasad included Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, Assembly Speaker, Awadhesh Narayan Singh, Council chairman, education minister Ashok Chaudhary and JD-U state president Vashishtha Narayan Singh.

However, chief minister Nituish Kumar was conspicuous by his absence as he had gone to Bodh Gaya to participate in the concluding day function of the Kalchakra puja initiated by Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

The RJD chief had arranged chura from Betia, curd from Vaisahli and Chapra and Tilkut from Gaya to serve the guests.

The Saturday feast was only for the Hindus. Prasad will be throwing another such feast especially for the Muslims tomorrow.
