Jokihat: In a prestigious battle of Jokihat in Bihar, Nitish Kumar’s Janta Dal-United is currently trailing by 40972 votes against RJD candidate Shahnawaz Alam.
The bypolls are considered as an important battle for the Bihar Chief Minister after his party lawmaker Sarfaraz Alam quit the party and joined the RJD after Mr. Kumar joined hands with the BJP last year.
The RJD has fielded Sarfaraz Alam’s younger brother, Shahnawaz Alam. JDU candidate Murshid Alam has seven criminal cases registered against him including one of gang rape. In another case, the police had allegedly recovered idols stolen from temples from his house.
Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav said that Nitish Kumar’s popularity has depleted since he swapped his alliance partners after dumping the RJD and Congress.
