Patna. There is neither friend nor enemy in politics and when it comes to Bihar, this becomes even more concrete. In 2022, when Lalan Singh had persuaded Nitish Kumar to leave BJP and join RJD, Lalan Babu had become a villain for BJP. When Nitish Kumar once again joined NDA and formed the government, all the old complaints of BJP regarding Lalan Singh have gone away. Former JDU national president Lalan Singh came to meet the Prime Minister on Friday as per his appointment. Although the meeting between the two was very brief, it took place in a cordial atmosphere.
BJP assured support in Parliament
This meeting of Lalan Singh with the Prime Minister took place in the Parliament. Parliament is in session and Lalan Singh had asked for an appointment with the Prime Minister. Narendra Modi had called him to meet him in his parliamentary chamber. Lalan Singh came to meet the Prime Minister with a big bouquet. Lalan Singh is the leader of JDU’s parliamentary party in the Lok Sabha. A JDU MP said that the Prime Minister had already made arrangements. Therefore there was a conversation between the two for a very short time. However, Lalan Singh assured the Prime Minister that JDU MPs will aggressively support BJP inside the House.
Relations deteriorated after RSP became minister
Till a few days ago, Lalan Singh used to be the staunchest enemy of BJP. This trend had started when instead of making him a minister in the central government, BJP had made RCP Singh, who was once close to Nitish Kumar, a minister. It was only after the expansion of Modi cabinet in 2021 that Lalan Singh became strongly against BJP. In this phase, RCP Singh had to leave JDU.
Gave a sharp statement on Rahul
A few days ago, when Nitish Kumar was considering forming the government with BJP, Lalan Singh had maintained silence. He was not giving any statement in the media. However, a day before the start of the Parliament session, Lalan Singh had made a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi and said that he is Pappu and will remain Pappu. Today Lalan Singh took one more step and reached to meet the Prime Minister.
