Manjhi calls 'ASA' and 'Jan Suraj' merger as 'Germs and Viruses' alliance
Following the merger of RCP Singh with the Jan Suraj Party in Bihar, Jitan Ram Manjhi made strong remarks, referring to Prashant Kishor and RCP Singh as 'germs' and 'viruses' harming Bihar. Manjhi portrayed the NDA as an 'antivirus' capable of countering them. The merger of former Union Minister RCP Singh with Prashant Kishor's party Jan Suraj has sparked a wave of rhetoric in Bihar. Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi responded by saying that harmful elements have united to damage Bihar. He stated that leaders like Prashant Kishor and RCP Singh believe they can harm the public, but they are unaware that the people of Bihar have an 'antivirus' known as NDA. He emphasized that the NDA's antivirus is effective against any threat, including Prashant Kishor and RCP Singh, whom he labeled as politically unsuccessful. He criticized the merger of RCP Singh's new party, formed 6 months and 18 days ago, with Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraj Party, which has existed for only 7 months and 16 days, pointing out their lack of popular support.
He mentioned that both individuals have previously collaborated with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, but if they couldn't remain there, the primary reason was their personal agendas. Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, stated that RCP Singh and Prashant Kishor were formerly affiliated with the JD(U), serving as a national vice president and a president. It is common knowledge who is orchestrating this, and there's no need to elaborate further.
JD(U) representative Neeraj Kumar described RCP Singh and Prashant Kishor as 'harmful influences in politics,' alleging they have betrayed Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He characterized them as political burdens who weaken their own followers. RCP Singh is perceived as an asset creator, whereas Prashant Kishor is engaged in monetary transactions with companies in Telangana. Neeraj Kumar dared RCP Singh to run for any assembly seat in Nalanda, vowing to quit politics if Singh gets fewer votes than a Mukhiya candidate.
