JD(U) Leader Lalan Singh Rules Out R C P Singh’s Return

He casts R C P Singh as responsible for the 2020 slump, citing the party’s rebound as reason to bar a return.

Overview

  • Speaking in Munger, Rajiv Ranjan 'Lalan' Singh said there is "no possibility" and "no vacancy" for R C P Singh in the JD(U).
  • He argued that the leader who took the party from over 70 seats to just above 40 in the 2020 Bihar elections has no place in the organisation.
  • JD(U) leaders point to a recovery to about 85 seats in the latest assembly polls as validation for keeping out figures blamed for past setbacks.
  • R C P Singh, now with Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party, has hinted at returning and claimed he and Nitish Kumar were always together.
  • Lalan Singh also questioned Kishor’s continued political role, invoking Kishor’s earlier pledge to quit if JD(U) won more than 25 seats.
