Expansion
Senior Jharkhand leader and former minister Saryu Rai has now joined Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Today, Janata Dal United’s working president and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Jha gave him the party membership. After joining JDU, JDU’s working president Sanjay Jha wrote on social media that he has had a personal relationship with JDU’s national president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the last several decades. I am confident that his arrival will strengthen the party in Jharkhand. On this occasion, Bihar government’s honorable minister and JDU’s Jharkhand state in-charge Ashok Chaudhary, minister Shravan Kumar, Rajya Sabha MP and JDU’s Jharkhand state president Khiru Mahto, Legislative Councilor Sanjay Gandhi and state general secretary Manish Kumar were present.
CM has defeated Raghubar Das
Saryu Rai, who is called a veteran of Jharkhand politics, was once considered to have a good hold in the Bharatiya Janata Party. When the BJP government was formed in Jharkhand, Saryu Rai was included in the Council of Ministers. After a few days, his relationship with the then CM Raghubar Das deteriorated. Saryu Rai was denied ticket in the 2019 assembly elections. Saryu Rai’s supporters alleged that due to Raghubar Das’s stubbornness, their leader did not get the Jamshedpur West seat ticket. After this, Saryu Rai became a rebel and opened a front against Raghubar Das. And, announced to contest from Raghubar Das’s seat Jamshedpur East. When the election results came, Saryu Rai won by a huge margin.
being vocal against corruption
Saryu Rai, who joined JDU, is credited with exposing the famous animal husbandry scam of Bihar. At that time Jharkhand used to be a part of Bihar state. After this, Saryu Rai accused Madhu Koda of mining scam. When the matter escalated, Madhu Koda had to resign.
NDA’s position will be strong in Jharkhand
Saryu Rai had given a big blow to BJP by defeating former CM Raghubar Das in the elections. The situation was such that BJP could not form the government. JDU is a part of the National Democratic Alliance. In such a situation, the arrival of Saryu Rai will strengthen the NDA in Jharkhand. This is being considered a master stroke of JDU regarding the upcoming elections in Jharkhand.
