Former JD(U) president RCP Singh joins BJP; says that Nitish Kumar compromised with his stand against crime and corruption

NEW DELHI: Former Union Minister and JDU chief Rama Chandra Prasad (RCP) Singh has joined the BJP. He praised the central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the efforts made for the development of the country. He joined the BJP on Thursday at the party headquarters in the presence of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

RCP Singh left the JDU last year following disagreements with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

He said that Nitish Kumar is compromising with crime and corruption in his pursuit of “kursi” (chair).

“The people of Bihar brought Nitish Kumar to power for the welfare and development of the state but he is roaming among the states for unity among opposition” said RCP Singh.
