The minister visited Siddhashram on the bank of the Ganga at Simaria and sought blessing from its chief priest Swami Chidatmana Maharaj.
Giriraj had launched his election campaign from the same place and emerged triumphant by defeating CPI nominee and former JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar. The minister reached Dinkar roundabout in a flower-decked vehicle and offered garland to the bust of noted Hindi litterateur Ramdhari Singh Dinkar.
