Patna, March 29: In a politically significant development, JD(U) MLA Anant Singh met with Union Panchayati Raj Minister and party MP Rajiv Ranjan Singh, also known as Lalan Singh, on Saturday.
During their meeting, the two leaders extensively discussed the current political situation in Bihar, particularly following Nitish Kumar’s election to the Rajya Sabha. All eyes are now on Nitish Kumar to see if he will resign from his position as a member of the Legislative Council by March 30.
Nitish Kumar was elected to the Rajya Sabha on March 16, and according to constitutional provisions, he must resign from one of his positions within 14 days. If he refuses to resign from his MLC post, his Rajya Sabha membership will be canceled.
The meeting took place at Lalan Singh’s residence and was described by sources as a courtesy visit. However, it is considered significant in the context of Bihar’s current political landscape.
Anant Singh, a prominent MLA from Mokama, was recently released on conditional bail in connection with the Dularchand Yadav murder case. He was arrested on November 1, 2025, during the Bihar Assembly election campaign from his residence in Ladma, Barh.
Before being granted bail by the Patna High Court on March 23, he spent nearly four months in jail. A single-judge bench headed by Justice Rudra Prakash Mishra granted him bail under strict conditions. The court warned that any attempt to influence witnesses or interfere with the investigation could lead to the immediate cancellation of his bail.
Additionally, Singh has been instructed to attend all court hearings related to the case. According to case details, Anant Singh is considered an accused in the Dularchand Yadav murder case. However, the post-mortem report revealed that the death was caused by severe physical assault and being run over by a vehicle.
