Nitish govt declares holiday on King Ashoka anniversary
Patna, Dec 15: The Nitish Kumar government today declared holiday in Bihar on April 14 to observe anniversary of King Ashoka.
A decision was taken at a meeting of state cabinet which was presided over by the CM. The newly-declared holiday will be under Negotiable Instrument Act, Principal Secretary State Cabinet department Brajesh Mehrotra told reporters.
Emperor of Maurya Dynasty King Ashoka's name came up during recently-held Bihar poll campaigns with some leaders having claimed that he hailed from backward caste of Kushwaha.
