The event, scheduled ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, will bring together a powerful lineup of national and state political leaders for a day of dynamic debates and insightful discussions, beginning at 2.15pm.
According to an official press release, one of the key highlights of the conclave will be an exclusive conversation with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is expected to share his perspective on Bihar’s development priorities, the state’s evolving political dynamics, and the broader national vision. His session is among the most anticipated of the day, expected to offer viewers rare insights into the BJP’s strategic roadmap ahead of the crucial polls.
The conclave will open with a high-energy debate featuring Waris Pathan (AIMIM), Abhay Dubey (Congress), and Ajay Alok (BJP), setting the stage for the discussions that follow. The event’s agenda includes a series of high-profile sessions with leaders such as Ravi Shankar Prasad, MP (Lok Sabha); Jitan Ram Manjhi, Union Minister; Pawan Khera, Chairman – Media & Publicity, AICC; and Guru Prakash Paswan (BJP), who will engage in thought-provoking dialogues on governance, development, and electoral strategy.
Adding to the depth of discussions, the event will feature multi-party participation from Divjyoti (VIP), Rajiv Ranjan (JDU), and journalist Kanhaiya Bhelari, offering diverse perspectives on Bihar’s political landscape.
