Preparations have intensified among political parties for the MLC elections to be held on 8 seats of Bihar Legislative Council (Bihar MLC Election 2026). The churning over the names of possible candidates is also going on in the ruling Janata Dal United (JDU). According to sources, the party has almost finalized the names of candidates for two seats, although the official announcement has not been made yet.
Neeraj Kumar’s ticket from Patna graduate seat almost decided
There is talk of once again making current MLC and JDU spokesperson Neeraj Kumar the party candidate from Patna Graduate Constituency. His name is considered almost certain at the party level. However, the final decision and formal announcement is yet to be made.
Neeraj Kumar is one of the prominent leaders of the party and has been active in the political activities of JDU for a long time. In such a situation, the picture regarding his candidature for Patna graduate seat seems quite clear at present.
Anant Singh opens front, supports Anuj Singh
Meanwhile, political tussle has come to light within JDU regarding Patna graduate seat. JDU MLA from Mokama Anant Singh (Anant Singh, JDU MLA) has adopted a rebellious stance against Neeraj Kumar and supported Anuj Singh, the contender for this seat.
After this step of Anant Singh, everyone is keeping an eye on the political situation within the party. Especially because the matter is directly related to two influential leaders of the party.
Reconciliation was attempted, but did not work out
It is being told that the party leadership tried to resolve the differences between Neeraj Kumar and Anant Singh and bring about reconciliation between the two leaders. But this attempt could not succeed.
Now the biggest question is that if Anuj Singh contests as an independent candidate from Patna Graduate seat, then what will be the next step of Anant Singh.
If Anuj contests as an independent candidate, what will be Anant Singh’s stand?
The contest on Patna graduate seat is likely to be interesting. On one hand, JDU’s current MLC Neeraj Kumar is likely to get the support of the party, while on the other hand, Anuj Singh is likely to contest the election as an independent and Anant Singh is supporting him, making the contest more interesting.
At present, the formal announcement of the candidates from the party is awaited. Only after this it will be clear what is the strategy of JDU on Patna graduate seat and what stand will Anant Singh take in this whole incident.
