JD(U) MLA Anant Singh Supports Rival Candidate in Patna Graduates MLC Poll
In Bihar's October 23 Legislative Council elections, JD(U) MLA Anant Singh is campaigning against his party's official candidate, Neeraj Kumar, by supporting Jan Suraaj Party's Anuj Singh in the Patna Graduates constituency. This rivalry stems from past political conflicts between Anant and Neeraj. JD(U) leadership has refrained from disciplinary action, allowing Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor to challenge the party openly. Kishor has offered to withdraw his candidate if Nitish Kumar endorses Neeraj Kumar with an authentic video message.
