Said in the morning – nine murders were done for JDU National President and former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, in the evening JDU MLA Anant Singh changed his statement; Said- Nine of our people were murdered. JDU MLA from Mokama, Anant Singh, corrected his sensational statement given on Friday afternoon regarding JDU National President and former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar by the evening. In the morning he had claimed that when Nitish Kumar was nothing and used to roam here and there, he had got nine murders done for him. However, when Nitish Kumar again appeared before the media in the evening and said that he had separated from RJD supremo Lalu Prasad's government, nine of his people were killed. After the difference between the two statements of Anant Singh came to light, the discussion on this issue has intensified in the politics of Bihar. In his morning statement he had talked about nine murders, while in the evening he claimed to have killed his people.
The MLA said that when Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar were together. When Nitish Kumar left Lalu Prasad and came to meet me along with current Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Prasad Singh alias Lalan Singh to ask for his help. I helped him continuously since then. He had to suffer the consequences of this. During the reign of Lalu-Rabri, nine of their people were murdered. At that time he also got shot. He said that no one can do as much as he did for Nitish Kumar and for the party.
In fact, the political conflict between JDU candidate Neeraj Kumar and Mokama MLA Anant Singh in Patna Graduate constituency regarding Bihar Legislative Council elections is continuously increasing. This dispute which started within the party has now come out in the open. Mokama MLA Anant Singh is campaigning against his own party's candidate Neeraj Kumar instead of standing in support of him. They are holding meetings and rallies in favor of Anuj Kumar Singh, candidate of Prashant Kishor's party Jansuraj. Besides, he is also appealing to the voters to vote in his favor.
Expressing his displeasure, Anant Singh had said that he neither has the fear of dying nor the joy of living. He says that he has made more sacrifices for the party than anyone else. In his statement, Anant Singh mentioned his old political relations with Nitish Kumar and his contribution to the party. He had claimed in the afternoon that during the politically weak phase of Nitish Kumar, he had got nine murders done for him. He also said that he considers JDU as his party, but he does not know how the party views him.
Anant Singh also made comments related to abusing on mobile without taking the name of Neeraj Kumar. His statement is being linked to the ongoing tussle within the party. It is noteworthy that Anant Singh has already been making serious allegations against Neeraj Kumar. He alleges that Neeraj Kumar worked to implicate him in the AK-47 case.
The growing tension between two JDU leaders in the Patna Graduate Constituency elections has increased the party's problems. On one hand, the official candidate of the party is Neeraj Kumar, while on the other hand, MLA of the same party, Anant Singh is campaigning in favor of Jansuraj's candidate. Anant Singh's latest statement has given a new political turn to this controversy. After his statement regarding former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, now everyone's eyes are on what stand the JDU leadership takes on this entire matter and what steps it takes to calm the growing resentment within the party.
