As the Lok Sabha elections draw close, political leaders begin to stake their claims on choice seats in hopes that the party bosses would acquiesce to their desire. Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Raj Kumar Singh seems to be doing the same, as he announced his intent to contest from Arrah Lok Sabha seats for the third consecutive time.
On September 24, Mr. Singh made a statement in Patna claiming he would contest 2024 Lok Sabha election from the Arrah seat. He also rejected rumours about the possibility of him being made Governor.
“How could anyone else make a decision on me? I will make a decision for myself, why would I contest the election from any other seat? Rumours are being spread about me, that I am leaving the seat and becoming Governor but it’s not true. I will contest Lok Sabha from Arrah only,” Mr. Singh said.
