Tensions Rise as MLA Dr. Sanjeev Criticizes Senior Party Leader in JD(U)

In Bihar politics, internal conflicts are brewing within the Janata Dal (United) as MLA Dr. Sanjeev openly criticized Ashok Choudhary, a senior party figure and national general secretary. Dr. Sanjeev's remarks have sparked speculation of rising tensions as the state approaches the next assembly elections.

The MLA from Parbatta, Khagaria, has been vocal about Choudhary’s alleged derogatory comments against the Bhumihar community, a move that could stir caste-based debates in the party. Despite claiming that the party remains strong, Dr. Sanjeev has expressed concerns about individuals using caste-related remarks to create division.

Who is Dr. Sanjeev?

Born on November 8, 1979, Dr. Sanjeev is the son of former Transport Minister Ramanand Prasad, who represented Parbatta five times. Dr. Sanjeev, an MBBS graduate, currently runs a pathology center. Elected as an MLA in 2020, he has positioned himself as an influential figure within JD(U).

The MLA’s criticism of Choudhary, whom he referred to as "without a base," has brought attention to factional disputes within JD(U). His remarks, including references to "Chintu Mintu," further illustrate the friction between party members.

As election season nears, tensions within JD(U) seem to be escalating, with caste politics and leadership disputes taking center stage. Dr. Sanjeev’s public confrontation with Ashok Choudhary signals potential challenges for party unity.
