  "account": "Bihar's JD(U) MLA Anant Singh has declared his intention to defeat his party colleague Neeraj Kumar in the upcoming MLC election, alleging that Kumar had a hand in planting an AK-47 at Anant's residence to frame him. Neeraj Kumar, also a sitting JD(U) MLC, is contesting from the Patna Graduate constituency. Both leaders have a history of opposing each other in election contests, with Singh claiming that Kumar has never left anyone alone. Anant argues that the election is not a party contest and that he will use his full strength to win, referencing his influence in making the chief minister. Neeraj maintains that the party has not yet officially announced its candidate and that any decision will be taken by the party leadership. Anant was convicted for 10 years in connection with the recovery of an AK-47 rifle, a magazine, and two grenades from his ancestral house, but the Patna High Court acquitted him in 2024.",
