Congress Leader Ashok Ram Defects to JDU Amidst Political Reshuffle

Bihar’s political scene is witnessing a major upheaval as Ashok Ram, a former Congress leader and ex-minister, is set to join the Janata Dal United (JDU). Ram, who has a long history in the Congress party and has been a six-time MLA, was a key figure in the state’s political arena. His move is seen as a significant loss for the Congress, especially given his influence and his role as a prominent Dalit leader. Reports suggest that Ram’s decision was influenced by his dissatisfaction with recent developments within the party, including leadership changes and perceived neglect. The defection adds to the ongoing political drama in Bihar as parties gear up for the upcoming assembly elections, each vying to consolidate their support base.
