New Bihta Airport: Call to Honor Peasant Leader Swami Sahajanand

CPI MP P Sandosh Kumar urges the Civil Aviation Ministry to name Bihar's upcoming Bihta Airport after Swami Sahajanand Saraswati. Highlighting his impact on agrarian movements and socialist advocacy, Kumar argues it's a fitting tribute. The plea coincides with PM Modi's foundation stone ceremony at the site.

In a significant political move, CPI Rajya Sabha MP P Sandosh Kumar has called on the Union Civil Aviation Minister to name the forthcoming Bihta Airport in Bihar after the renowned peasant leader, Swami Sahajanand Saraswati.

Sahajanand, a pivotal figure in India's agrarian history, was known for his relentless struggle against the oppressive zamindari system. Kumar emphasized that the symbolic gesture would honor a leader whose work continues to inspire farmers nationwide.

The plea aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent inauguration of Patna Airport's new terminal and the laying of a foundation stone for the Bihta Airport's new civil enclave.
