“Congratulations to all on the occasion of Bihar Day, especially the people of Bihar on this day! Apart from its rich historical heritage, Bihar also leads the way in the present. I had the privilege of serving as the Governor of this land which has been a witness to the earliest republic to Mahatma Gandhi’s Champaran Satyagraha. My best wishes on this occasion,” tweeted President Ram Nath Kovind.
