    When the son did not listen, wife Parvati herself decided to burn her husband.

    HighLights

    Called him several times and asked him to come home. Told my mother to sell the house and give me the money. He used to quarrel with his father by demanding money.

    Naiduniya, Shahdol (Shahdol News). In Beohari of the district, a son did not kill his father because his mother did not give him money. Parvati Burman, resident of ward number 11 Kachhiyan Tola, wife Ramswaroop Burman (65) has a son and two daughters. The only son Manoj Burman (31) is married.

    used to quarrel with his father by demanding money

    Every day he used to fight with his parents demanding money. After this, when his demand for money was not met, he separated and started living in a rented house with his family in Beohari. Even a day before his father’s death, he had come to his parents’ house and was demanding Rs 1.5 lakh. But the mother refused saying that she did not have money. Angered by this, he left from there in the night itself.

    Father died due to illness

    Next morning Manoj’s father dies due to illness. The mother, while talking to her son on mobile, informed him of his father’s death and asked him to come home quickly, but the son was so blinded by the greed for money that he did not feel any regret after hearing the news of his father’s death. He bluntly told his mother to send him money only then he will come home otherwise not.

    Told my mother to sell the house and give me the money

    The mother cried and said, ‘Son, I don’t have any money right now and you are insisting on money at such a time. Your father’s dead body is present in the house. The son’s heart did not melt and he even told his mother to sell the house and give him the money, otherwise he would not come to offer funeral pyre to his father.

    I called him several times and asked him to come home.

    Apart from his mother, Manoj’s wife also called him several times and asked him to go home, but he did not go home. He switched off his mobile after some time. When the son did not listen, wife Parvati herself decided to burn her husband. Two days after her husband’s funeral, Parvati along with her daughters Sushma and Suman lodged a complaint at Beohari police station.

  • Gandhi Jayanti special: 60 year old man’s dedication towards education, organizes free classes for children every day in the courtyard

    Purushottam Patra, Gariaband. 60 year old Diwadhar Churpal village in Sargibahli village of Devbhog tehsil has been running a campaign to provide quality education to the children of the village for 10 years. This year, apart from 25 students studying in primary school, he is teaching three students of class 6th. Children lovingly call them ‘Aja’. ‘Aja’ classes are held twice a day, from 7 to 9 in the morning and from 5 to 6 in the evening. SC’s classes run regularly.

    Elderly Diwadhar’s left leg is fractured due to falling from a bicycle a week ago, and his leg is in plaster. Despite this his classes did not stop even for a day. Classes are sometimes disrupted during rainy days, but Churpal’s dedication remains steadfast.

    sacrifice and service

    Diwadhar, who completed higher secondary in 1965, considered Gandhiji as his idol. In 1973, he was posted as a teacher in Nuaguda Primary School, but he left the job of a teacher and joined social service. Since he was from a village, he came into political limelight. Most of the front was not visible in the light. But the people affected by this brought him to the Panchayat body elections. In 1979, when he was elected Sarpanch of Usripani, he brought roads and electricity to the village. He contested the district elections in 1982 and till 1988, he remained the Vice President of Devbhog district. When contact with politicians like Shyama Vidya increased, while being the Vice President, he got schools opened in many villages across the river. Churpal also had a major contribution in establishing a high school in Jhakharpara. The entire tenure of Diwadhar Churpal remained undisputed. After retiring from political life, he has been teaching children for the last 10 years. Churpal says that he will continue to do the work of sharing education and knowledge till his last breath.

    See this change

    Even today, most of the students studying in government schools of the village do not have basic knowledge of alphabets, Pahada, Barahkhandi etc. But the children of Sargibahli village are better than the neighboring villages.

    Inspired by the thoughts of Gandhiji, Diwadhar Churpal made education his priority and today his efforts are not only shaping the future of the village children, but have also become a source of inspiration for the society.

  • Prashant Kishor To Launch New Political Party In Bihar’s Patna On October 2 |

    Patna, Bihar – Poll strategist Prashant Kishor and chief of the Jan Suraaj campaign, is set to unveil his political party on October 2, providing a fresh alternative to the electorate of Bihar. The official launch will take place at a grand event at the veterinary college ground in Patna, where Kishor will reveal the party’s name, its constitution, and introduce a 25-member leadership team, including the designated party president.

    Kishor, known for his innovative approaches to election management, has made it clear that he will not assume any official position within the new party. Instead, he will continue to focus on his ongoing “Padyatra,” a foot march that has garnered significant attention and is expected to conclude in Supaul before moving into Araria post-launch.

    Sources indicate that the Jan Suraaj campaign anticipates a massive turnout, aiming for as many as 50 lakh supporters at the foundation event. This ambitious gathering underscores Kishor’s commitment to challenging the entrenched political landscape in Bihar, which has been dominated for decades by figures like Lalu Prasad Yadav, Nitish Kumar, and the BJP.

    Having roots in Rohtas district and belonging to the Brahmin community, Kishor is particularly vocal about moving beyond the traditional caste and religion-based politics that have characterized the state’s political scene. Over the past two years, he has been meticulously building a political base, positioning himself as a formidable challenger to established political leaders.

    Kishor’s journey began with a ‘Padyatra’ from the Bhitirahwa Gandhi Ashram in West Champaran. Initially planning to cover 35,000 kilometers, he has since extended that goal to 45,000 kilometers and has now walked over 55,000 kilometers. His extensive outreach has primarily focused on North Bihar, where he has traversed through various districts, including West Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Siwan, Saran, Sheohar, Sitamarhi, Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur, Samastipur, Madhubani, Begusarai, Khagaria, and Supaul. After October 2, he plans to continue his journey into Araria.

    Through this extensive grassroots engagement, Kishor aims to connect directly with the electorate, presenting his new political movement as a viable alternative to the established political powers in the region. As the launch date approaches, all eyes will be on Kishor and the Jan Suraaj campaign, marking a potential turning point in Bihar’s political landscape.
