Bihar Election 2025 I Over Chicken Litti Chokha & A Walk on Marine Drive, Patna Speaks I Barkha

Barkha meets Anjali, a young woman who runs the popular “Hichki Chicken Litti” stall. Once a homemaker, Anjali turned entrepreneur after the pandemic, showing how women in Bihar are stepping into business with confidence. She proudly says, “When both husband and wife earn, the home runs happier.”

Local youth — from influencers to engineers — share their views. Many praise Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s development work but admit a “fatigue factor.” Some feel it’s time for new leadership, with Prashant Kishor emerging as a name of interest, though still building his base. Jobs and unemployment dominate every discussion, with young voices calling for industries and self-reliance.

In true Bihar spirit, opinions differ but optimism endures. Between bites of litti and sips of tandoori chai, the mood on Patna’s streets reflects both gratitude for progress and hunger for change.

As Barkha Dutt concludes, Bihar’s youth want more than promises — they want jobs, dignity, and leaders who deliver. For now, the Marine Drive of Patna hums with stories of work, aspiration, and the irresistible pull of chicken litti.
