Day before the first phase of voting in the Bihar Assembly elections, Jan Suraaj candidate from Munger assembly constituency, Sanjay Singh, has severed ties from his party and joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
According to IANS, Singh took the BJP membership in the presence of the latter’s Munger candidate Kumar Pranay and extended his support to the NDA alliance.
After joining the BJP, Singh told reporters that Bihar will rise to new heights under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
“Considering the current political situation and circumstances, I am extending my support to ensure NDA’s victory. I will work to help them win, and I am confident they will win by a large margin of votes,” he said.
Previously, the contest was a triangular one but with Singh joining the BJP, the electoral battle for Munger now is between the NDA and RJD-Congress-led Mahagathbandhan.
This is a major jolt to Prashant Kishor-led Jan Suraaj, which is already struggling to keep its leaders together ahead of the polls. Earlier in October, three of its candidates withdrew their candidacies. These candidates were from Danapur, Brahmapur, and Gopalganj.
The election campaigning ended on Tuesday for 121 assembly constituencies across 18 district for the first phase of state assembly elections. Voting will be held on Thursday.
