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.
