Jan. 26: The banner of revolt raised by former Janata Dal(U) MP Prabhunath Singh against the Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar is giving sleepless nights to the senior party leaders as they feel that it may damage party’s electoral prospect in the coming state Assembly polls.
Jolted with the party’s drubbing in the recently concluded Assembly bypolls in Bihar, majority of the JD(U) leaders say that repeated attack on the CM by Prabhunath Singh is sending wrong message among the electorates. It is reliably learnt that party president Sharad Yadav has also taken the matter seriously.
Talking to this newspaper, a senior party leader said: "Party must take disciplinary action against Prabhunath Singh for criticising the policies of Nitish Kumar. Senior party leaders including Sharad Yadav and Nitish Kumar must seek explanation from Mr Singh for his involvement in anti-party activities. If he does not give satisfactory reply, action should be taken against him."
Recently, Prabhunath Singh organised Maharana Pratap anniversary in Patna as a show of strength. Instead of talking about the values of Maharana Pratap, Prabhunath Singh chose the occasion to launch a rebellion of upper caste Rajputs against the Nitish Kumar government. He reportedly said chief minister Nitish Kumar’s slogan of developing the state with social justice was a farce. He also alleged that Nitish Kumar has done more damages to the upper castes by reserving almost 80 per cent of the seats in gram panchayats, said the leader, adding that Mr Singh is now trying to bring anti-Nitish leaders on a common platform. "A section of party leaders have requested Nitish Kumar to take action agai-nst Mr Sin-gh to prevent further damage. The party has failed to perform in Jharkhand Assembly polls also. Therefore, this is not the time to take anti-party activities lightly," said the leader.
