PATNA: In a major political development, the JD(U) on Sunday decided not to send its lone Union minister R C P Singh to the Rajya Sabha for a third consecutive term.
Instead, the JD(U) announced the name of its Jharkhand state president and former MLA Khiru Mahto as the party’s official candidate for the biennial election to the Rajya Sabha from Bihar. Khiru was the party MLA from Jharkhand’s Mandu seat from 2005 to 2009.
