PATNA: Former JD(U) president Ramchandra Prasad Singh, commonly known as RCP Singh on Wednesday claimed that Bihar CM Nitish Kumar was going to merge his party JD(U) with Lalu Prasad-led RJD.
Singh, who was once considered number-2 in the JD(U) after Nitish but quit the party on August 6 this year just two days after he was asked by the party to give an explanation on his immovable properties (plots of land), also said that Nitish-led JD(U) would not win even a single seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, if it contests alone. “If Nitish Babu contests the 2024 Lok Sabha polls after merging his party into the RJD, they (the combined party) may get some seats. Some seats may come into their hands, but alone the JD(U) will get a big zero,” the former Union steel minister said.
