Patna, Ta. 16 August 2020, Sunday

With the forthcoming Assembly elections in Bihar, the political heat is on the rise. In that, Nitish Kumar and the Janata Dal could get a big tweak before the elections. JDU leader and Bihar industry minister Shyam Rajak may leave the party. He may resign as minister on Monday. Shyam Rajke is considered the Dalit face of the Janata Dal. So that the equations of Bihar Assembly elections may change after his resignation.

Not only that but Shyam Rajak can join RJD after leaving JDU. Shyam Rajak said he would announce his decision on Monday. He said his fight is not with anyone, but he will leave the party because of ideology. He further said that I am the person sitting under the pictures of Baba Saheb Ambedkar and former Prime Minister Chandrasekhar. I continue on their ideology.

Once upon a time, Shyam Rajak was considered close to RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav. He and Ramkripal Yadav were considered to be the Ram-Shyam duo. Then again they are likely to return home to RJD. However, no clear announcement has been made yet.

Shyam Rajak will go to the Speaker at 12 noon on Monday and resign. Apart from this, there is talk in Bihar political sources that another mantra from Purnia district has also decided to resign from the party. His pum is likely to join the RJD.
