Upon his release from Beur Jail, Anant Singh, a prominent figure in Bihar politics, declared his intention to run for election against the party of Nitish Kumar. The announcement came after Singh was granted bail by the Patna High Court in the Pachmahla case. Speaking to the media, Singh praised Nitish Kumar’s governance over the last two decades and predicted his continued leadership for the next quarter-century. Singh emphasized Kumar’s achievements in public works, including improvements in roads, electricity, and water supply. He expects that Nitish Kumar will remain in power as Chief Minister for the next 25 years. Singh’s bail from the High Court provided a significant boost to his prospects before the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, specifically related to the Pachmahla firing incident.
