Mangal Pandey won from Siwan on a BJP ticket. He entered the Council in May 2024 with a term ending in 2030. Radhacharan Sah, elected earlier as Deputy Speaker from the Bhojpur/Buxar quota, is now an MLA from Sandesh on a JDU ticket. His Deputy Speaker term lasts until April 2028.

Experts say these members must resign from the Council before taking oath as MLAs. If they do not resign, their Council membership ends automatically when they take the Assembly oath. If vacancies appear, the Election Commission must conduct elections within six months.

Kishor has already made allegations against Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary, BJP leaders Dilip Jaiswal, Mangal Pandey, and Sanjay Jaiswal, as well as JDU minister Ashok Choudhary. He accused Ashok Choudhary of paying money for a Lok Sabha ticket and amassing assets worth ₹200 crore. This led to a ₹100 crore defamation case against Kishor.

Other allegations include questioning Samrat Choudhary’s age and degree, accusing Mangal Pandey of a shady Delhi flat deal, and charging Dilip Jaiswal with seizing a medical college and being linked to a murder case. Sanjay Jaiswal faced charges over petrol pump irregularities. In return, these leaders have challenged Kishor’s funding and credibility.

As the battle intensifies, Bihar politics is heating up with each new disclosure. The suspense remains—who will Prashant Kishor target next?

Prashant Kishor accused Dilip Jaiswal of being linked to a murder and of seizing a minority medical college. He also claimed that Samrat Choudhary failed in Class 7 and never showed valid certificates. Singh said these charges hurt the party’s image and cannot be ignored.

He insisted that leaders should give a clear reply. If the charges are false, they must file defamation cases. If the charges are true, they should step down. Singh also said Nitish Kumar should remove leaders who avoid giving answers.

According to Singh, silence only weakens the BJP and JDU in Bihar. He warned that people can see the credibility of leaders. Kishor’s fresh attacks have increased pressure on NDA leaders like Samrat Choudhary, Ashok Choudhary, Mangal Pandey, and Sanjay Jaiswal.

Bihar politics is now heating up as Singh’s demand for Samrat Choudhary’s resignation adds to the storm.
