Former JD(U) leader Ajay Alok, known to be close to the ex-JDU president and Union Minister RCP Singh , joined the BJP on Friday in the presence of Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
Joining the BJP is like coming to a family, Alok said, vowing to contribute to the “Modi mission” for the development of the county.
Alok took a dig at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar saying he is an architect who is destroying his own work by compromising on law and order and corruption.
He said the country is today moving in the same direction as the prime minister. The former JDU leader joined the BJP here at the BJP headquarters .
Alok was expelled by the JD(U), the ruling party in Bihar, last year as it believed him to be close to R C P Singh, the party’s former president who quit following a fallout with Nitish Kumar. RCP had joined the Modi-cabinet and continued to be part of it against the wish of the JDU. The JDU did not renew his Rajya Sabha tenure which led to his exit from the cabinet.
Vaishnaw lauded Alok’s contribution and praised him as a sharp mind who he said would contribute to party’s growth.
