After receiving information about Congress MLA Sukhdev Bhagat joining the BJP, several leaders including Congress co-incharge Umang Singhar and State Congress Working President Manas Sinha reached Lahardaga on Tuesday to meet at his residence. JMM has suffered a major setback with JMM legislator Kunal Shadangi joining the BJP. Kunal’s background has been BJP’s from the very beginning. In 2005, his father Dinesh Kumar was a BJP MLA from Shadangi Bahragadera seat. At the same time, Mandu MLA Jayaprakash Patel was expelled from the party by Jairamme during the Lok Sabha election. After this, he said – JMM is now a party, not a private limited company. After this he openly worked for BJP in the Lok Sabha elections.
