Didn't want to become national president: JDU leader Lalan Singh

Op India  

A few months prior to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Lok Sabha MP from Munger Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh resigned as national president of Janata Dal-United and made Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar the new head of the party. Nitish Kumar then called him and insisted, “I would not sign the motion if you don’t nominate yourself.” Lalan Singh claimed that once again he was appointed as the national president on the instructions of a senior party leader with whom he has 37-year-long ties. “How then can I ruin the party that I put together,” he questioned and accused, “All this is the propaganda of Godi media which is being disseminated at the behest of BJP.” Lalan Singh also remembered the time that he and Nitish Kumar were apart and maintained that despite having disagreements with the latter between 2010 and 2013, he didn’t go anywhere and returned in 2013 because he couldn’t stay in a rental house instead of his place. When asked about the possibility of a covert meeting with 12 JDU MLAs to install deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav as chief minister, he warned that he would take legal action against anyone who perpetuates disinformation and added, “I’m going to sue them for defamation as well.” Lalan Singh charged that the BJP had violated its promise and claimed that seven of their MLAs in Arunachal Pradesh had been broken from the party and included in the BJP while they were together in the government and did the same with five out of their six legislators in Manipur.
