Leaders in Bihar switch loyalties as poll approaches

New Delhi, September 19: With Assembly elections approaching, party hoppers are having a whale of a time in Bihar.

While many of them have already switched loyalties, others are waiting for right options before moving out of their zones of discomfort.

As the assembly poll is expected to be a tight triangular contest between JD(U)-BJP, RJD-LJP and Congress, all parties have witnessed the phenomenon of new admissions and desertions as also emergence of new equations.

Rajiv Ranjan Singh “Lallan”, the right hand man of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is now miles away from him and is singing the paens of Congress. It is another matter that he has not left the JD(U) to avoid disqualification as an MP.

In the latest case, senior RJD leader Akhilesh Singh has resigned from the primary membership of the party and is on his way to join Congress.
