In the midst of the Janata Dal United’s crucial National Executive meeting on Friday at the Constitution club in New Delhi, it has come to light that Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh has tendered his resignation as the party’s national president. The action was taken concurrently with rumors of a potential Party leadership transition. The JD(U) national executive is in session at Delhi’s Constitution Club right now. Along with other party leaders and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Lalan Singh was present at the meeting. The resignation offer from Lalan Singh was confirmed by Bihar Minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary, who stated, “The JD(U) national executive meeting is currently in progress.
If they accept our proposal, then Nitish Kumar will be the party president. Lalan Singh told CM Nitish Kumar that he will be busy with elections, so he wants to hand over the post of party president to him and Nitish Kumar accepted it…”
Nitish Kumar is now set to take over as JDU President even as the party braces for the Lok Sabha Elections in 2024 and the Assembly Elections in 2025.
Earlier in the day, some members of JDU were seen raising slogans “Desh ka Pradhan Mantri kaisa ho? Nitish Kumar jaisa ho” outside the Constitution Club in Delhi where the national executive meeting is underway.
