With the Bihar assembly elections on the horizon, the political landscape is experiencing rapid changes. The Janata Dal United (JDU) could be facing a major setback, with reports suggesting that Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, a key MLA, is poised to join the RJD. Dr. Kumar, known for his strong voice within the JDU, is rumored to have already met with Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition, and a photo of their meeting has been widely shared.
Sources indicate that Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, representing Parbatta in Khagaria, has been expressing dissatisfaction with the JDU and is likely to make the move before the upcoming elections. He is expected to officially join the RJD imminently. The date for his formal induction into the RJD is reportedly set for October 3rd, in a public event in Gogri, Khagaria, with Tejashwi Yadav present.
Dr. Sanjeev’s discontent with the party has been growing for some time, with several of his statements challenging the JDU’s top leadership. He was also a subject of controversy when CM Nitish Kumar shifted alliances to join the NDA last year. Furthermore, Dr. Sanjeev was questioned by the EOU regarding allegations of MLA buying. Dr. Sanjeev holds considerable influence in the Parbatta constituency. His departure from the JDU and move to RJD could give the RJD an advantage, particularly in gaining support from the Bhumihar community.
