Bihar Politics Shaken as Ex‑RJD Media Chief Aligns with BJP

The political equation in Bihar has been unsettled after Mrutyanjay Tiwari, a former RJD state spokesperson and media head, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. Tiwari, who once carried the responsibility of national spokesperson and media liaison during the party's 2014 crisis, announced his new allegiance in a gathering at Patna's Hanuman temple. He declared that his loyalty now lies with the BJP, promising to uphold the party's trust with absolute honesty. “Every drop of my blood will be devoted to the BJP,” he affirmed, adding gratitude for the faith shown by BJP leaders. This realignment follows a recent trend of several regional leaders, including educators and former RJD members, switching to the BJP, underscoring a growing momentum.
