Bihar: Another Three MLAs Of RJD-Congress Alliance Sit On Ruling NDA's Side In Assembly After Signals From BJP's Samrat Choudhary

A couple of weeks after three Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLAs switched sides in Bihar, another three from the RJD-Congress alliance have come to the ruling NDA's side since Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's switchover.

These three are RJD’s Sangita Kumari, MLA from Mohania of Kaimur district and Congress' Bikram MLA Siddharth Singh and Chenari MLA Murarai Prasad Gautam, who was a Minister in Bihar until last month.

After lunch, they entered the Bihar Assembly behind Deputy Chief Minister and BJP's state president Samrat Choudhary and sat on the ruling side on his signal. They were welcomed by ruling side MLAs by desk thumping.

Interestingly, the three RJD MLAs -- Prahlad Yadav, Neelam Devi and Chetan Anand -- who switched sides earlier, have neither resigned from the party yet nor is RJD seeking their disqualification.

Ahead of Nitish Kumar's trust vote after rejoining NDA, Bihar Congress MLAs were kept in Hyderabad. However, Siddharth Singh did not join them citing prior engagements, Indian Express reported.
