PATNA: Chirag Paswan-led LJP may suffer yet another jolt in Bihar because many of its senior leaders are likely to join the JD (U) on Thursday. Rameshwar Chourasia, the party’s candidate from Sasaram constituency in the last assembly polls, quit the LJP on Wednesday.
According to sources, a section of LJP leaders, who are disgruntled with the style of functioning of Chirag, are set to join the JD (U) in the presence of its national president R C P Singh. “The joining programme will be held at the JD (U) office around 2pm on Thursday,” LJP’s former spokesperson Keshav Singh told TOI.
Keshav, who was expelled in the last week of November 2020, will join the JD (U) along with at least four former district presidents of the LJP and several state level leaders.
