Bihar Minister Deepak Prakash Skips MLC Nomination Amid NDA Alliance Shifts

Bihar Minister Deepak Prakash Skips MLC Nomination Amid NDA Alliance ShiftsPreviousNext

Bihar minister Deepak Prakash did not file nomination for the Legislative Council elections, sparking speculation about his political future and potential changes within the NDA alliance. His absence is seen as a setback for Rashtriya Lok Morcha leader Upendra Kushwaha, who has rejected BJP's merger proposals to retain his party's independence. Sources suggest Prakash may lose his ministerial post after the constitutionally allowed six-month period, while Kushwaha remains part of the NDA but firm on his party's separate identity.
