As Bihar gears up for its assembly elections, the political atmosphere is charged with anticipation. A potential game-changer could be the possible shift of Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, a well-known MLA from the Janata Dal United (JDU), towards the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).
News suggests that Dr. Kumar, known for his strong presence in the JDU, might be on the verge of joining the RJD. He has reportedly met with Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition, and a photo of their meeting has been widely circulated. The MLA from Parbatta constituency, Khagaria, is believed to have been unhappy with the JDU for some time, and this move could happen before the elections. Dr. Sanjeev Kumar is expected to join the RJD very soon.
It is reported that Dr. Sanjeev Kumar will join the RJD on October 3rd in the presence of Tejashwi Yadav. A large public gathering has been arranged in Gogri, Khagaria, on the same date, where the formal induction is expected. Dr. Kumar’s dissatisfaction with the party has been growing and his recent remarks have been critical of the top leadership. He was also a topic of discussion when the Chief Minister decided to join the NDA last year. Dr. Sanjeev was also investigated by the EOU in connection with the allegations of horse-trading.
Dr. Sanjeev holds a significant position in the Parbatta region. His move from the JDU to the RJD could give the RJD a significant edge, and could potentially bring in support from the Bhumihar community.
