In a significant political development in Bihar ahead of the Assembly polls scheduled to be held later this year, former Union Minister Ram Chandra Prasad Singh has merged his political outfit, Aap Sabki Awaz (ASA), with the Jan Suraaj Party, led by Prashant Kishor.
Former Union Minister RCP Singh said people of Bihar have great expectations from Jan Suraaj and vowed to work for the state's development, calling Bihar's history rich and inspiring.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain on Sunday said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) remains strong in Bihar under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and is poised to win over 200 seats in the upcoming elections.
Welcoming Singh into the party, Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor described the former bureaucrat-turned-politician as "an elder brother" and a seasoned leader with deep understanding of Bihar's political and social fabric.
