All 3 Leaders Of Upendra Kushwaha’s Party Flock To Nitish Kumar’s Team

After drawing a blank in the Lok Sabha elections, former Union minister Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Samata Party Sunday received yet another setback as all three of its members in the bicameral legislature joined Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U).

Confirming the development, Assembly Speaker Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and legislative council deputy chairman Haroon Rashid said letters to this effect have been forwarded by two RLSP MLAs—Lalan Paswan and Sudhanshu Shekhar—and MLC Sanjiv Singh Shyam on Friday.

“The legislators had also appended letters of approval from the JD(U). They were asked to appear in person for completion of formalities. Henceforth, they shall be treated as JD(U) legislators,” Chaudhary and Rashid told PTI here.
