Shotgun, Sekhar Suman to perform in Patna on Dussehra celebrations

Patna, Sept 29: In keeping with its aim to show a change in climate in Bihar with the change of guard, the Nitish Kumar government has decided to revive a cultural programme on the occasion of Dussehra here -- a tradition which had stopped for over a decade. The two-day cultural programme beginning today at the historic Gandhi Maidan being organised at the initiative of the Chief Minister, will see a host of prominent artistes from across the country regaling the audience, Minister for Culture Janardan Singh Sigriwal said. The three prominent Bollywood personalities hailing from Bihar -- Shatrughan Sinha, Sekhar Suman and Prakash Jha -- would grace the inaugural function today, Sigriwal said. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar would inaugurate the cultural night today in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, he added. Sigriwal said the programme dedicated to legendary USTAD Bismillah Khan, who died recently, intended to show a change in climate in the state with NDA assuming power last year.
