Varanasi: Bihar chief minister and JD(U) president Nitish Kumar visited Sankat Mochan temple to take blessings of Bhagwan Hanuman for the success of his 'Mission UP 2017' on Friday morning. He also offered prayers at Kashi Vishwanath temple and performed Ganga puja and aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat.
Nitish was here to address the UP unit workers convention held at Pindra on Thursday. After offering prayers at Sankat Mochan temple, he met temple's mahanth Vishwambhar Nath Mishra and discussed issues relating to the pollution of the holy river - Ganga.
"Nitish Kumar expressed his concern over the plight of Ganga. The discussions centered around the need to keep a check on sewage discharge into the river, and sufficient flow of water," Mishra told TOI. Mishra, who is also the president of Sankat Mochan Foundation that works for the cause of Ganga, explained the woes of the holy river in Varanasi.
Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's claim - 'Maa Ganga ne bulaya hai', Nitish said, "Maa bulati nahi hai, beton ko maa ke paas jana hota hai' (Mother doesn't call her sons, but it is the duty of the sons to approach their mother and take care of her), said Mishra. Modi had also visited the temple on December 20, 2013 before addressing Vijay Shankh Naad rally here.
