Bihar CM Nitish Kumar assumes JD(U) national president role ahead of crucial elections. At the party's national executive meet, Lalan Singh stepped down, proposing Kumar's leadership due to his own electoral commitments. Despite earlier denials, speculation arose around Singh's resignation, partly due to internal discontent. Sources suggest concerns over Singh's ties with RJD, countered by JD(U) leaders emphasizing unity. Kumar's role in opposition unification and caste-based surveys earned praise, fueling plans for a nationwide caste survey push during his upcoming Jan Jagran Yatra.
