JD-U workers furious as Nitish files RS nomination
Gulf Today
|March 06, 2026
While senior Janata Dal-United leaders appeared supportive of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's decision to enter the Rajya Sabha, strong resentment erupted among party workers across Patna on Thursday.
-
Protests broke out from the Chief Minister's residence to the party's state office, where Janata Dal-United workers not only raised slogans but also vandalised furniture and other items inside the premises.
Agitated Janata Dal-United activists raised slogans against several veteran party leaders, including Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh, JD-U Working President Sanjay Kumar Jha, Bihar Ministers Vijay Kumar Choudhary and Ashok Choudhary.
Janata Dal-United activists alleged that the veteran party leaders were conspiring with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to weaken the party and remove Nitish Kumar from the post of Chief Minister.
The situation escalated when Janata Dal-United Legislative Council member Sanjay Gandhi was reportedly manhandled by protesting party workers at the party office.
