JD(U) Leader Openly Invites RCP Singh to Rejoin Party
Speculation about former Union minister RCP Singh moving closer to the JD(U) intensified on Wednesday. Senior JD(U) legislator Shyam Rajak publicly extended an invitation to the bureaucrat-turned-politician to join the party.
Rajak's Warm Welcome at Makar Sankranti Feast
Rajak made these remarks while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a Makar Sankranti feast in Patna. The event was hosted by former minister Ratnesh Sada. Rajak stated clearly that RCP Singh is welcome in the JD(U). He emphasized that the party's door remains open if Singh wishes to return.
"When did he leave us? The JD(U) is his home. He is welcome. He can come whenever he wants," Rajak told the gathered media. This direct and personal invitation adds significant weight to the ongoing political chatter.
RCP Singh's Recent Praise for Nitish Kumar
This development follows closely on the heels of RCP Singh's own public comments. Just two days earlier, on Sunday, Singh expressed profuse thanks to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He credited Kumar for Bihar's development during a 'chura-dahi' feast at Patel Bhavan in Patna.
Singh described Nitish Kumar as his "guardian" and highlighted their long-standing relationship. "Nitish ji is my guardian... The kind of development works he carried out in the state is historic," Singh told the media. He also noted that he has maintained a close relationship with the Chief Minister for 25 years.
Political Implications and Future Moves
The exchange of warm words between a senior JD(U) figure and the former Union minister is being closely watched. Political observers see this as a potential realignment. Rajak's invitation, framed in familial terms, suggests a deliberate effort to bring Singh back into the party fold.
Singh's recent praise for the Chief Minister's work and his acknowledgment of a 25-year bond provide context for this open invitation. The situation underscores the fluid nature of alliances and loyalties in Bihar's political landscape. All eyes are now on RCP Singh's next move and whether he will accept this public call to return 'home.'
