He also announced plans to launch his own political party.
Following his expulsion from the Janata Dal (United), Mokama MLA Anant Singh on Sunday launched a sharp attack on the party’s leadership, claiming that the JD(U) “is finished” and will struggle to win “even 10 seats” in future elections.
He maintained that the JD(U) originally belonged to former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar but had lost its political standing under the leaders responsible for his removal. “I will simply build my own party. I have no regrets. Whatever action has been taken, it’s fine; I have no issues with it. The party belonged to Nitish Kumar. Now that Nitish Kumar is no longer there (in the active role), what is left of the party? Who among those in the leadership—the ones who expelled me—has actually contributed anything?. Why will I go anywhere? “The JD(U) is finished. Despite criticising the party leaders responsible for his expulsion, Singh maintained that his personal relationship with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar remained unchanged. “There is no distance between Nitish ji and me; we maintain a cordial relationship. I will go and visit him sometime—there’s no issue.
Now, they will not even get 10 seats.
Singh said he had “no regrets” over his expulsion and questioned the authority of the party’s current leadership. Speaking to reporters in Patna, Singh said he had no regrets over the disciplinary action taken against him by the party leadership. I will simply build my own party,” Singh said. The expelled MLA asserted that the JD(U)’s political influence had declined and said the upcoming elections would reveal the party’s actual standing among voters. Once elections are held, everything will become clear,” he said. Let them keep their party; it serves no real purpose anyway,” Singh said.
Singh’s primary membership was revoked with immediate effect over allegations that he had defied party directives, used inappropriate and derogatory language against senior leaders, and acted against the party’s candidate in the recently concluded Legislative Council elections, according to an order issued by Bihar JD(U) state president Umesh Singh Kushwaha.
