Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi participate in a mass yoga session in Patna on June 21, 2018.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar did not participate in the event to mark the International Yoga Day, which was attended by Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi.

Both the Janata Dal (United) and the BJP tried to play down the issue. The JD(U) said Mr. Kumar practises yoga daily. Mr. Prasad and Mr. Sushil Kumar Modi insisted that Mr. Kumar’s absence should not be politicised.
