JDU MP Ajay Mandal from Bhagalpur has threatened to resign, accusing the party of ignoring local leaders. The JDU MP Ajay Mandal controversy started when he alleged he was not allowed to meet Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He said that despite being a local MP, his opinion was not considered in the ticket distribution process for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
In his resignation letter to Nitish Kumar, JDU MP Ajay Mandal stated that people who never worked for the organization were being given tickets, while loyal district and local leaders were ignored. He expressed disappointment that his attempts to meet the Chief Minister were blocked, calling the incident disrespectful and unfair.
Ajay Mandal clarified that he holds no personal grudges but wants to protect the party’s image and Nitish Kumar’s leadership. He warned that ignoring grassroots workers and promoting outsiders could harm the JDU’s future. His resignation offer has deepened the internal rift within the party ahead of the elections.
