JD(U) Leaders Anant Singh and Neeraj Kumar Clash Ahead of Bihar MLC Elections
Ahead of Bihar's 2026 MLC elections, JD(U) MLA Anant Singh has vowed to defeat party colleague Neeraj Kumar in the Patna Graduate constituency, accusing Kumar of framing him in a 2019 AK-47 case. Singh has challenged those involved to undergo a Narco test and expressed support for an independent candidate. Neeraj Kumar has denied the allegations, questioned the lack of evidence, and affirmed confidence in winning. Both leaders belong to the Bhumihar community, and the dispute highlights internal tensions within JD(U) ahead of the elections.
