Alliance partner JD(U) asks BJP to explain the ‘joining’ of independent MLC
The Janata Dal (United), a partner in the ruling alliance, has asked the Bharatiya Janata Party to clarify how two independent members of the Legislative Council became associated with the BJP. A delegation from the Jan Suraaj Party met Council Chairman Ram Bachan Rai, urging that the two independents be disqualified from their seats. The request highlights intra‑alliance tensions over party affiliations.
