PATNA: Bihar’s ruling JD(U) on Friday said its leaders and workers would hold a daylong fast before the life-size statue of Babsaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar near the Patna high court here on May 28 to protest the inauguration of new Parliament House by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the same day.
The chief minister Nitish Kumar’s party has already announced its decision to abstain from the new Parliament House’s inauguration programme by the PM, demanding inauguration of the new building by the President Droupadi Murmu.
