Former Dinara MLA quits JD(U) as seat goes to RLM

Bihar’s NDA seat-sharing deal sparked immediate fallout with JD(U) MLA Jai Kumar Singh resigning over his Dinara seat being allocated to RLM. He plans to contest independently, citing past vote transfer issues. Meanwhile, JD(U) and other allies are urging sitting MLAs to prepare nomination papers for the initial phase of polls, despite candidate name delays.
