JD(U) Meeting To Discuss Scenario Post-RCP Singh's Exit: Party chief
Amidst the political turmoil in Bihar's politics, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has called a meeting of JDU MLAs and MPs on Tuesday after the exit of former national president RCP Singh, party chief Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan said on Monday, as reported by news agency PTI.
Talking to reporters here, Lalan did not react to speculations that Kumar was planning to walk out of the NDA but took exception to the claim that the BJP had decided who would be a minister from the JD(U).
“I read in the newspapers that RCP Singh has said that he was told by Union Home Minister Amit Shah that his name had been approved for ministership. He claims to have taken oath after informing the CM. But this only confirms what we have been accusing RCP of,” the JD(U) national president stated.
“Our charge is that RCP became a minister as per his own sweet will (apni marzi se). He has dropped the name of Shah. Does Shah belong to our party? Can the BJP decide which JD(U) leader will become a minister,” Lalan asked.
