PATNA: Several leaders of different political parties on Tuesday joined the ruling JD(U) here in the presence of either CM
Nitish Kumar or state president Bashishtha Narain Singh.
The prominent among those who joined are RJD MLA Md Nematullah,
former Union minister Dasai Chaudhary
, former
MLC Anuj Kumar Singh
and the Congress’ Sitamarhi district president Vimal Shukla.
While former MLC Anuj Singh joined the ruling party in the presence of CM Nitish Kumar and JD(U) state working President Ashok Choudhary, Md Nematullah and Dasai took membership of the party from the JD(U) state president Bashishtha Narain Singh.
“Anuj Singh, who was elected as MLC in the previous term from the Gaya-Jehanabad-Arwal local authority seat, was appointed state vice president of JD(U) soon after joining the new party,” JD(U) state general secretary and spokesperson Pragati Mehta told TOI on Tuesday.
Anuj was elected as MLC from JD(U). But later, he joined BJP. Anuj came in the limelight again in March 2019 when an armed group of Maoists attacked his ancestral home at his village Bodhibigha in Gaya district.
Md Nematulllah
, RJD’s sitting MLA from Barauli in Gopalganj district, decided to leave Lalu Prasad’s party after he was denied the party ticket. The RJD has fielded Riyazul Haque from Barauli seat.
Dasai Chaudhary, a known party hopper, was in RJD. He has been part of all parties right from Congress to BJP to RLSP to RJD.
Dasai, who was a Union minister in the
Chandrashekhar
government in the 1990s, said he would work as a humble cadre and discharge duties assigned to him by the JD(U) leadership. He was once Lok Sabha member from Rosera (SC) seat.
Then a member of Congress, Dasai had come into the limelight in September 2013, when he went to Gujarat and met Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad with RJD supremo Lalu Prasad’s brother-in-law
Sadhu Yadav
. Both were then expelled by Congress.
