In a unanimous decision, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has been elected as the new president of the Janata Dal (United), succeeding Lalan Singh, ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Singh's removal is being attributed to his perceived proximity to the JDU's alliance partner, Lalu Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal, fueling concerns of a potential takeover by RJD's Tejashwi Yadav. However, Yadav dismissed these claims weeks ago, accusing the BJP of spreading rumors to destabilize the JDU-RJD alliance. The move, initially contested by Singh, aims to establish a singular command within the party amidst internal debates.
