The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) faced another jolt in Bihar on March 1, when its MLA Bharat Bind from the Bhabhua Assembly seat changed sides and sat with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) MLAs on the last day of the Bihar Assembly session.
The development took place on the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Bihar on March 2, when he is due to address two public meetings in Aurangabad and Begusarai districts.
With this, a total of seven MLAs of the RJD-led Opposition Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) have switched sides so far, including five from the RJD and two from the Congress.
