After meeting families of four youths killed in Bedhna village, JD(U) MLA Anant Singh announced his support for Dr. Anuj Singh in the forthcoming Legislative Council election, ruling out backing Neeraj Kumar.
Anant Singh, a JD(U) legislator, visited the bereaved families in Bedhna village following the tragic death of four young men. The meeting was intended to console the relatives and assess the community’s concerns after the incident.
During the visit, Singh used the platform to declare his political stance for the upcoming Legislative Council (MLC) election. He publicly endorsed Dr. Anuj Singh as the JD(U) candidate, signalling his confidence in the doctor’s prospects.
At the same time, Singh made it clear that he would not extend his support to Neeraj Kumar, another contender in the race. The announcement underscores the internal dynamics of the party as it prepares for the council polls in Bihar.
Political analysts note that Singh’s endorsement could influence voter sentiment in the region, especially given his recent engagement with the affected families. The MLC election, scheduled later this year, is expected to be closely contested.
The JD(U) has not released an official list of candidates yet, but Singh’s statements provide an early indication of the party’s alignment ahead of the vote.
