Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) State president Jagdanand Singh’s youngest son Ajit Singh on Wednesday quit the Janata Dal (United) [JD(U)] alleging the party created confusion among ground level workers.
Mr. Singh, 46, a former RJD leader, was State general secretary-cum-organisational in-charge of the JD(U)‘s Buxar unit and could return to the RJD. He sent his resignation to JD(U) state unit president Umesh Kushwaha saying that decisions on the alliance with the NDA were taken by the party without taking workers into confidence.
Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Singh said, “Whenever workers took a stand on behalf of the party, the top leadership took the opposite stance. We felt that Nitish Kumar must have taken the appropriate decision by keeping the party and State interest as top priority, but despite two phases of election, no major announcement was made by the NDA regarding the interest of Bihar. There is complete chaos in the party and workers are feeling cheated.”
