Patna, September 23: Former Bihar minister Shyam Rajak, who joined Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD (U) earlier this month, was on Monday designated the party's national general secretary.
Rajak had joined JD (U) on September 1. A communication to this effect was issued by JD(U)'s national general secretary, Afaque Ahmad Khan on Monday. Rajak had quit the RJD alleging that he "felt stifled and insulted" by "corruption" and dynasty rule and had joined the JD(U). Rajak had joined the RJD in 2020 after being sacked from the Nitish Kumar cabinet and expelled from the JD (U) on disciplinary grounds.
