Anant Singh Bihar Assembly Oath: In a moment that turned heads in the Bihar Assembly, JD(U) MLA from Mokama, Anant Singh, took his oath on Tuesday under unusual circumstances. Having spent the past three months in judicial custody over the Dularchand Yadav murder case, Singh completed the ceremony silently, without reading the oath document.
Immediately afterward, he approached Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, touched his feet, and sought his blessings. The Chief Minister reportedly inquired about the tilak on Singh’s forehead before he returned to his seat, as other members watched closely.

JD(U) MLA from Mokama, Anant Singh, created a stir in the Bihar Assembly on Tuesday by taking his oath under unusual circumstances. In judicial custody for three months in the Dularchand Yadav murder case, Singh completed the oath silently and immediately touched Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s feet for blessings.
The Patna Civil Court had allowed him to appear in the House solely for the oath; with bail pending, he must return to Beur Jail afterward. Citing constitutional requirements, Singh said after the ceremony, “I am innocent, I will get justice.”

In the October elections, Singh won decisively, securing 91,416 votes against RJD’s Veena Devi, who received 63,210, giving him a commanding margin of 28,206 votes. While his oath now formalizes his position as an MLA, his active participation in the Assembly will depend on the High Court’s decision on his bail plea.
