Bihar's JD(U) party is grappling with a rift as MLA Anant Singh pledges to unseat rival MLA Neeraj Kumar in the upcoming MLC election from Patna Graduate constituency. Singh alleges that Neeraj planted an AK-47 at his home, allegedly with Neeraj's complicity, to implicate him and send him to jail. Singh further demanded an inquiry into the matter and challenged those involved to undergo a narco-test.
The two senior JD(U) leaders have had a contentious relationship, with Singh claiming Neeraj has opposed him in past elections and vice versa. Singh made it clear that his opposition is personal and not against the party, stating he would use his full strength to defeat Kumar in the election. Neeraj, however, maintains that the party has not yet officially announced its candidate, and any decision will be taken by the party leadership, adding that he always follows their decision.
Singh's political influence is evident as he stated, "A chief minister is made with my vote," potentially influencing the election outcome.
