LJP(RV) leaders join Upendra Kushwaha’s party in a sudden political development that has shaken the NDA in Bihar. Senior leaders from Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) quit the party and joined Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Morcha, triggering fresh debate about leadership and unity within the alliance.
Former LJP(RV) vice president and chief spokesperson A.K. Vajpayee led the group that switched sides. Several district-level leaders also joined him. Upendra Kushwaha welcomed them and said their decision would strengthen his party across Bihar and other states.
Kushwaha immediately appointed A.K. Vajpayee as senior national vice president and chief spokesperson. He said the leaders joined on their own and were not pressured. He also said his party respects experience and gives space for growth.
A.K. Vajpayee said he felt ignored in Chirag Paswan’s party. He added that self-respect mattered more than positions. He described his return to Kushwaha’s camp as a natural decision.
The move has raised questions about internal coordination within the NDA. Political observers believe this shift could influence future alliances and election strategies in Bihar.
