The internal rift within the JD(U) over the Patna Graduates' constituency MLC election has intensified. Anant Singh, a prominent figure, has vowed to ensure Neeraj Kumar's defeat in the upcoming poll, even if it means expulsion from the party. Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar's son, Nishant Kumar, has called upon party workers to unite and actively support Neeraj Kumar's campaign. Nishant praised Kumar's dedication and experience, highlighting his commitment to the socialist ideology and the welfare of his constituency.
Anant Singh, however, insists that the dispute is not a party matter. He questioned why party leaders did not intervene earlier, given Kumar's history of opposing him and senior party leaders in the past. Anant claimed that Neeraj Kumar's opposition to him and Nitish Kumar, and his alleged involvement in murder cases, warranted the party's intervention.
The situation has further escalated with Anant Singh accusing Neeraj Kumar of not working for the party and, instead, abusing him. Anant also highlighted his own contributions to the party, including his time in jail, bullet injuries, and efforts to weigh Nitish Kumar against silver coins, despite the party not supporting him. He emphasized his respect for Nitish Kumar, despite the party's perceived lack of support.
