Former RJD Spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari Joins BJP, Citing Party Differences
Former Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari resigned on July 16, citing dissatisfaction and alleged sidelining within the party. He formally joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) shortly after, with BJP leaders welcoming him and highlighting his political experience. Tiwari criticized RJD's internal dynamics under Tejashwi Yadav, while praising BJP's development agenda. The move is seen as a significant setback for RJD and a boost for BJP ahead of Bihar's upcoming political contests.
