Expelled JD(U) MP joins Congress, says Nitish is like 'Hitler'

Bihar: Expelled JD(U) MP from Gopalganj, Purnamasi Ram has joined Congress slamming the “Hitler- style” functioning of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and is likely to get a Lok Sabha ticket from Valmikinagar. AICC General Secretary Janardan Dwivedi told reporters that Congress President Sonia Gandhi has inducted Ram into the party.

Ram said he left JD-U because of the “Hitler-style” functioning of Nitish Kumar and predicted that the party would not win more than four to five of the total 40 seats in the state. He said he  joined Congress to check communal forces in Bihar. Ram was among  four Lok Sabha members expelled for ‘anti-party activities’ by the JD-U leadership last month. They included Captain Jainarain Nishad (from Muzaffarpur), Sushil Kumar Singh (Aurangabad) and Mangani Lal Mandal (Jhanjharpur). This story was originally published on News18.com
