ARA----------------------------There's an old saying: "No one knows who is your friend or a stranger in politics." A similar situation is being witnessed within the Bihar BJP. The sword has been drawn, especially in the Shahabad region. Leaders are now not shying away from making serious allegations. Accusations and counter-accusations within the BJP: The BJP's performance in the Shahabad region in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections was very poor. Now, leaders are taking out their frustrations on each other. This was initiated by RK Singh. Now, party leaders are putting him in the dock. The issue has reached a mental level: In Bhojpur, BJP MLA from Barhara, Raghavendra Pratap Singh, without naming him, launched a scathing attack on former Union Minister RK Singh. He even said, "His (RK Singh's) mental balance has deteriorated." RK Singh made a serious allegation: Let's take you to the story behind this. Two days ago, RK Singh made a serious allegation, saying that the party's former MLA and MLA had conspired to defeat him. Furthermore, Pawan Singh was bribed by a party leader to contest from Karakat. BJP MLA's dangerous counterattack: When BJP MLA Raghavendra Pratap Singh was questioned about RK Singh's statement, he said, "He (RK Singh) will tell who all got him defeated. When he says, 'I didn't see that the former MLA and MLA got me defeated,' ask him to name who all got him defeated. Let me tell you one thing, sometimes such situations arise in life that a person's mental balance gets disturbed." What did the state president say? : It should be noted that when BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal was questioned yesterday about RK Singh's statement, he too expressed ignorance. He said, "We are not aware of this. However, we will discuss this with RK Singh." Pawan Singh contested from Karakat: In fact, Pawan Singh contested from Karakat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Initially, he wanted to contest from Ara, but later the BJP gave him a ticket from Asansol. A controversy arose, leading to the ticket being withdrawn, and Pawan Singh contested as an independent from Karakat. However, Pawan Singh lost the election. NDA suffered a significant loss in Shahabad: It is said that although Pawan Singh lost the election, he inflicted a significant dent on the NDA in five Shahabad seats. He also turned a certain victory for the NDA into a defeat in seats like Ara (where RK Singh was contesting), Buxar, and Jehanabad, all because caste politics had caused significant losses to the NDA.
