Former RJD Leader Ritu Jaiswal Joins BJP After Expulsion Over Ticket Dispute
Ritu Jaiswal, former president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) women's wing and a prominent Bihar politician, has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after being expelled from RJD for six years due to alleged anti-party activities. Her fallout with RJD stemmed from the denial of a ticket for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, leading her to contest independently and lose. Upon joining BJP, she praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'nation first' approach and expressed commitment to public service.
