Internal Clash Over Patna Graduate Seat Settles After Ministerial Intervention

The Patna Graduate constituency became a flashpoint within JDU after MLA Anant Singh publicly opposed the party’s choice of sitting MLC Neeraj Kumar. Singh warned that Kumar would lose the election and leveled serious allegations against him.

The rivalry escalated until central minister Lallan Singh met JDU chief Nitish Kumar two days ago. Following the discussion, both Anant Singh and Neeraj Kumar were asked to cease public accusations. The party leadership has now reaffirmed its backing for Neeraj Kumar, moving past the intra‑party dispute.
