JD(U) Faces Internal Rift as Anant Singh Backs Rival in Bihar MLC PollsPreviousNext

Ahead of Bihar's Patna Graduates legislative council polls, a rift has emerged within Janata Dal (United) as party strongman Anant Kumar Singh supports rival candidate Anuj Kumar Singh against official nominee Neeraj Kumar. Anant describes his opposition as a personal matter with Neeraj, denying a party split, while JD(U) struggles to manage internal dissent following Nitish Kumar's departure as chief minister. BJP leader Samrat Choudhary has publicly backed Neeraj, highlighting JD(U)'s weakened internal control.
