An awkward moment marked the state ceremony in Patna commemorating Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s birth anniversary on Thursday.

Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary arrived late, reaching the venue only after Kumar, ministers, and other leaders had completed the homage, without any disruption to the official programme.
