Former RJD member Raghuvansh Singh writes to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar with suggestions

Patna: After resigning from the RJD, former Union minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh has written a letter to Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar with a slew of suggestions including an amendment in MGNREGA and some issues concerning his native Vaishali district, sending an olive branch to JDU which has welcomed his decision to leave Lalu Prasad's party.

Singh addressed his letter to Kumar from the hospital bed at AIIMS, New Delhi on Thursday, the day he said goodbye to the RJD.

He has posted the letter to the chief minister on his facebook account.


The ruling JDU has made it clear that it will welcome Singh into the party if he decides to join it.

The former union minister is admitted to Delhi AIIMS because of post-Covid complications.

In his letter to Kumar, who heads the JDU, the veteran leader has made a series of suggestions including an amendment in Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Gurantee Act (MGNREGA), bringing Lord Buddhas begging bowl from Kabul and hoisting tricolor at Vaishali, the land of worlds first Republic.

Singh has represented Vaishali Lok Sabha seat for five times before his successive defeats in 2014 and 2019 polls.
