Patna: Two days after being appointed as the state BJP president, six-time MLA from Darbhanga and former minister Sanjay Saraogi on Wednesday visited several prominent pilgrimage sites, ancient places and temples across the district.
Saraogi will arrive in Patna on Thursday and formally assume the charge at the party’s state headquarters, a BJP spokesperson said.
Accompanied by thousands of party workers, Saraogi first reached Baba Kusheshwar Asthan Temple, popularly known as the Babadhham of Mithila, on Wednesday morning and offered prayers to Lord Shiva . He performed ‘Jalabhishek’ of Baba Kusheshwarnath, and prayed for the prosperity of the state, well-being of people and strengthening of the BJP.
Throughout the journey to Kusheshwar Asthan, party workers welcomed him at various points.
After Kusheshwar Ashthan, Saraogi visited the ancient Jwalamukhi Temple at Kasraur, a Shakti Peeth, where devotees believe the Goddess bestows special blessings and fulfilment of wishes.
