A chaotic scene unfolded at the JDU office in Patna where party workers reportedly clashed with each other. The incident highlights the growing unrest within the party following Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s decision to move to the Rajya Sabha. Visuals from the location suggest a physical altercation took place between two groups of supporters within the office premises.
Why did the fight break out?
The trouble began when a section of workers started raising slogans against senior leader Lalan Singh. These workers are reportedly unhappy with the recent decisions made by the party leadership. The situation escalated when supporters of Lalan Singh objected to the slogans, leading to a heated argument. This verbal exchange quickly turned into a physical scuffle, with workers pushing and shoving each other inside the party office.
What is the issue with the Rajya Sabha decision?
The core reason for this anger appears to be Nitish Kumar’s nomination for the Rajya Sabha. Many ground-level workers are expressing their displeasure over this move. Reports suggest that a faction of the party feels this decision was influenced by specific leaders, leading to targeted anger against Lalan Singh. While the police and senior officials are monitoring the situation, the internal rift regarding the leadership change has become quite visible in Patna.
