Overview
- Three of Rashtriya Lok Morcha’s four MLAs — Madhav Anand, Rameshwar Mahto and Alok Singh — skipped a Litti Chokha event in Patna to meet BJP national working president Nitin Nabin in New Delhi.
- A photo posted on social media confirmed the meeting, which reports said was linked to discussions over Deepak Prakash’s induction as Panchayati Raj Minister though he is not a legislator.
- Anant Kumar Gupta, the former state president of the party’s business cell, resigned with seven other office-bearers, alleging the party has strayed from its founding principles.
- Upendra Kushwaha’s party won four of six seats in the recent Bihar polls and secured a cabinet berth for his son, drawing accusations of dynastic politics from within the ranks.
- RLM leaders described the MLAs’ meeting as a courtesy call and insisted the legislative party remains intact, as HAM leader Jitan Ram Manjhi publicly mocked the family’s political gains.
