The grand Rajsabha of Hastinapura was abuzz with activity, preparing for a crucial assembly unlike any before. Every significant figure from the court had been summoned and had gathered for this momentous occasion.

In attendance were esteemed ministers, each responsible for a vital aspect of the kingdom's governance from the Finance Minister to The Health and Welfare Minister. Leading this distinguished group was the Chief Minister, Vidur, who served as the head of the ministerial cabinet, ensuring the smooth functioning of the kingdom.

Royalty graced the assembly as well, with King Dhritarashtra and Queen Gandhari taking their seats. The presence of the venerable Mahamahim Bhisma, the revered Rajamata Satyavati, and the wise Kulguru Kripacharya added further gravitas to the gathering.

Pandu, accompanied by his two wives, Kunti and Madri, also joined the assembly, each figure symbolizing a facet of the kingdom's intricate web of power, diplomacy, and tradition.

The stage was set for a pivotal moment in the history of Hastinapura, where the destinies of its people would be discussed, and the future of the realm charted.

Bhisma's voice carried a weight of authority as he addressed the assembled ministers.

"Before we commence this sabha, I wish to emphasize the utmost importance of confidentiality. What is discussed here must remain confined to these walls, a secret closely guarded. This information shall not seep beyond this assembly, reaching neither the praja of Hastinapur nor any of our allies or adversaries. Let it be known that any breach of this trust will result in swift and severe consequences. I implore you all to keep these matters as discreet as possible." His words left no room for ambiguity, and the gravity of the situation hung heavy in the air.

With Bhisma's signal, Vidur stepped forward, assuming the role of the chief communicator in this confidential assembly. He began to elucidate the intricate details of the matter that had been discussed within the royal family just the day before. His words were measured and precise, his tone reflecting the gravity of the situation.

Whispers and discussions had broken out among the assembled ministers. However, Satyavati, with a composed demeanor, eventually raised her first question, cutting through the murmurs and side conversations.

She addressed the gathered ministers, emphasizing, " Instead of conversing amongst yourselves, I urge you to share your thoughts and opinions on this matter. After all, the purpose of assembling this sabha was precisely to seek your counsel ."

Every minister, driven by their own ambitions and calculating their positions carefully, began to voice their opinions. While they hesitated to openly oppose either the current blind king, Dhritarashtra, or the previous king, Pandu, they had secretly chosen their sides. They were acutely aware that their positions and fortunes could hang in the balance, depending on who gained power.

With a sense of cunning and self-interest, they carefully assessed the situation, weighing the potential benefits and risks of aligning themselves with one side or the other. Their opinions flowed with calculated precision, as they aimed to secure their own futures in a kingdom where power could shift like the sands of the desert .

"Rajamata ," one minister chimed in, "I believe our current king is leading the kingdom well, and it would be wise to continue with him."

Another minister nodded in agreement, adding, "Yes, Rajamata, I concur with that sentiment. King Dhritarashtra has provided stability ."

However, a different perspective emerged, "But Rajamata, Maharaj Pandu has returned, and it's only fair to consider returning the crown to him ."
