Upendra Kushwaha RLM split fears have surfaced after three MLAs of Rashtriya Lok Morcha skipped a key party event in Patna. The absence shocked party workers and strengthened Upendra Kushwaha RLM split fears across Bihar’s political circles.
Instead of attending the gathering, the three MLAs met senior BJP leader Nitin Nabin. Photos of the meeting quickly circulated and triggered speculation about internal dissent within the party.
RLM has only four MLAs, including Kushwaha’s wife Snehlata. The remaining three lawmakers are Madhav Anand, Alok Singh, and Rameshwar Mahto. Their move raised questions about loyalty and future strategy.
Sources say discontent grew after Kushwaha supported the appointment of his son, Deepak Prakash, as a minister in the Bihar government. Party leaders reportedly expected experienced MLAs to get cabinet positions.
Political observers warn that a possible split could damage Kushwaha’s influence. It may also threaten his chances of securing another Rajya Sabha term in the future.
The development matters for the NDA as well. Any breakaway group could weaken alliance numbers inside the assembly.
RLM leaders have denied talk of rebellion and claimed the party remains united. However, continued silence from the three MLAs keeps speculation alive.
The coming weeks will be crucial.
