Gandhi Maidan in Patna has anchored Nitish's oath‑taking rituals in 2005, 2010, 2015, and now 2025. The open‑air venue, synonymous with Jayaprakash Narayan's anti‑Emergency movement, lends symbolic weight, underscoring continuity and mass appeal. Over three lakh attendees were expected today, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah in attendance, showcasing NDA unity.
