Independent morning Patna
However, Saturday was considered a historic day for Triveniganj sub-division of Supaul district from Bihar. After years of waiting, the Government Degree College was inaugurated, Deputy Chief Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav inaugurated the college by cutting the ribbon, big talks were held from the stage about education, development and bright future of daughters, knowledge and science. But by the end of the ceremony, the entire program came under discussion due to more controversies, factionalism and presence of controversial faces on the stage than education.
Deputy Chief Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav said in his address that this is a day of pride not only for Triveniganj but for the entire area. He said that now the students of this area, especially the poor daughters, will not have to go out for higher education. BNMU Vice Chancellor Dr. Describing it as the first government degree college under the university, he talked about providing quality education. MP Dileshwar Kamat, MLA Sonam Rani and NDA leaders also called it a big achievement of the area. But parallel to the idealistic speeches being given from the stage, the pictures that emerged at the venue have definitely raised deep questions about the dignity and propriety of the entire event.
No place on stage, former MLA returned
During the function, JDU’s internal factionalism and corruption came to the fore. Former MLA of the area Bina Bharti did not even get a place on the stage. It is said that after waiting for a long time, she got angry and quietly returned from the venue. This incident gave rise to new discussions in political circles. People are raising questions that the leaders of the party, who have been active in the area for years, did not get respect on the stage, while other faces were seen playing influential roles in the entire program.
Presence of sex racket accused becomes the biggest question
The biggest discussion in the entire function was about the presence of the controversial person, who has been jailed in an illegal sex racket case. According to the information, the said person was arrested along with 12 adult and minor girls in a police raid on June 18, 2024, and a case was registered and he was sent to jail, and after being in jail for a long time, he has recently come out. Local people allege that he was not only looking active like the organizers in the program, but his activism was making him appear to be the chief organizer. His presence on the stage, his movement among the leaders and officials surprised people. After this there was a flood of posts, memes and sarcasm on social media.
People were seen taunting –
“Why are controversial faces given so much importance in the inauguration of the temple of education?”
“Has access and influence in government programs now become the new qualifications?”
Questions raised on Vice Chancellor and organizers
Now the BNMU administration and organizing committee have also come under the scanner in this entire matter. People say that in such a big government and educational program, it is the responsibility of the organizers and the university administration to decide who will be around the stage and who will get importance.
When journalists asked Vice Chancellor Dr. Vimlendu Shekhar Jha questions about the presence of the controversial person, he refused to comment, expressing ignorance. But people say that the university kept talking about morality and education from the stage, while in the same program the activism of controversial faces was visible in front of everyone. After all, in what capacity was that person present on the stage.
More discussion of controversy than inauguration
The inauguration of the college, which was considered to be the new beginning of the future and education of the area, has now become a topic of discussion due to political turmoil, factionalism and controversial presence. This question is increasingly being raised in the region whether political equations and influence are now becoming more important than dignity and image in government events? Triveniganj may have got its first government degree college, but the inauguration ceremony has written a story of more controversies than education, which is now being discussed everywhere from the village to the social media.
