Expelled JD(U) MLA Anant Singh of Mokama says the party will win fewer than ten seats and announces plans to launch his own political outfit.
Mokama legislator Anant Singh was removed from the Janata Dal (United) after a public disagreement with the party leadership. In a statement released shortly after his expulsion, Singh warned that JD(U) is unlikely to secure even ten seats in the upcoming elections.
Following his dismissal, Singh announced his intention to establish a new political party. He said the new outfit will be founded on a platform that addresses local concerns and offers an alternative to the existing state-level alliances.
Political analysts note that Singh's move could fragment the anti-incumbency vote in Bihar, especially in the Mokama constituency where he enjoys a personal following. The JD(U) has not commented on the exact number of seats it expects to win, but Singh's remarks add pressure to the party ahead of the election campaign.
