Anguished by the stampede that claimed 17 lives on the bank of Ganga, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has cancelled a feast for JD(U) leaders.
Chief Minister has cancelled the feast that he had proposed to host for the JD(U) leaders comprising MPs, MLA/MLCs, district unit presidents on Wednesday at his official residence.
JD(U) spokesman Sanjay Kumar Singh said he is too aggrieved by the human tragedy during the Chhath festival to throw the feast.
Kumar had proposed to host feast for the JD(U) leaders to mark the success of the 'Adhikar rally' at Gandhi Maidan here on November 4.
