In a somber display of political unity, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and other prominent leaders from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) have extended heartfelt condolences following the death of Radha Devi Saraogi, mother of BJP state president Sanjay Saraogi. The senior citizen passed away on Thursday night after battling a prolonged illness at a hospital in Mumbai, casting a pall of sorrow over political circles in Patna and beyond.
Condolence Messages Pour In From Top Leadership
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, in his official condolence message, expressed profound grief and offered prayers for the departed soul to find eternal peace. "The Chief Minister conveyed his deepest sympathies to the bereaved family during this difficult time," sources close to the administration revealed. His message highlighted the personal loss felt across political lines, emphasizing shared humanity beyond party affiliations.
The tragic news prompted an outpouring of support from other key NDA figures as well. Senior BJP leaders and Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha joined in mourning, issuing separate statements that conveyed their sorrow. "They prayed for peace to the departed soul and strength for the family to endure this irreparable loss," official communications noted, underscoring the collective grief within the state's ruling coalition.
Final Journey to Native Darbhanga
Radha Devi Saraogi's mortal remains were transported from Mumbai to her native place in Darbhanga on Friday afternoon, where final rites are expected to be conducted with traditional honors.
