In a significant political development, former Union minister RCP Singh has unveiled a new political party, 'Aap Saabki Aawaz', after parting ways with JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar. Announced on a day of cultural importance, both Dipawali and the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, Singh's move marks a strategic shift in Bihar's political landscape.
RCP Singh, originally an IAS officer from the UP cadre before transitioning into politics, emphasized his readiness for the approaching Bihar assembly elections by securing potential candidates for 140 out of 243 seats. He highlighted dissatisfaction with the current prohibition law and the state's declining educational standards, indirectly critiquing Nitish Kumar and his governance.
The former bureaucrat's political journey has been turbulent, featuring tensions within JD(U) leading to his resignation, allegations of financial misconduct, and ultimate induction into the BJP. Singh's latest maneuver signifies an attempt to engage directly with Bihar's electorate amid shifting alliances and electoral strategies.
