Munger, November 5: In a last-minute twist ahead of Bihar’s first phase of Assembly polling, Jan Suraaj’s candidate from Munger, Sanjay Singh, quit the party and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. He was inducted in the presence of BJP nominee Kumar Pranay and senior leaders, framing the move as a step toward development and a stable government.
As per agency report, Singh said he has been influenced by the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and intends to work with the National Democratic Alliance for his constituency’s progress. Party functionaries in Munger projected the crossover as a strategic boost that could recalibrate local electoral equations in the hours before voting.
The switch is being viewed as an election-time setback for Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj, which had fielded Singh from the seat. With the defection, the contest in Munger is expected to tighten further as the BJP seeks to consolidate support under the NDA banner.
