One of the leaders claimed that Chirag Paswan had “sold the ticket”.

Patna:

In an upheaval within the Lok Sabha party (Ram Vilas), 22 party leaders simultaneously tendered their resignations while expressing anger over not being given tickets for the Lok Sabha elections.

Notable people who resigned include former minister Renu Kushwaha, former MP and BJP national general secretary Satish Kumar, state organization minister Ravindra Singh Singh, Ajay Kushwaha, Sanjay Singh and national secretary Rajesh Dangi.

The wave of resignations appears to stem from dissatisfaction within the party, with allegations surfacing that tickets were distributed in exchange for money.

Former Congress MP Renu Kushwaha said while resigning, “The votes should have been given to party workers, not outsiders. The votes were given to outsiders, which means there are no capable people in your party.” People. Are we people in the party?” “Are you working-class people in the party going to work for you to make you a leader? When an outsider gets a ticket, our loyalty is called into question. We I’m not here to serve the party.”

Satish Kumar, a former MP and Liberal national secretary-general, was furious at not getting votes, claiming the rebel Liberal leader would now support the Indian bloc.

“The party workers are shocked that the Liberal supremo has issued tickets to these people when the country is holding such an important election. Those who used to chant ‘Long Live Chirag Pashu’ slogans day and night and hope There is a ‘new Bihar’ where the people’ have been betrayed and their aspirations have been crushed. Now, to save the state, the INDI alliance must be supported. Now we will support the INDI alliance,”

The party’s organizational secretary Ravindra Singh alleged that Chirag Paswan was “selling votes”. “Chirag Paswan played an emotional game with the people of Bihar. When he got five seats due to our efforts, he sold all those tickets. The people of Bihar will give him An answer,” he said.

The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) is contesting in 5 of the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar: Vaishali, Hajipur, Samastipur, Khagaria and Jamui.

Bihar polls will be held in seven phases. The first phase will be held on April 19, the second phase on April 26, the third phase on May 7, the fourth phase on May 13, and the fifth phase on May 20 , the sixth phase will be held on May 25, and the seventh phase will be held on June 1.
