Lalan Singh threatens to sue media for alleging him of plotting rebellion against Bihar CM

On Saturday, Rajiv Ranjan Singh “Lalan,” the former president of JD(U), threatened to sue media organisations that published reports of him planning a rebellion against Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in support of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.

A day after he resigned as the party’s president, Lalan made a statement to that effect, and it was then unanimously agreed upon that Kumar should become the new national president.

According to PTI, the strongly worded statement alleged that reports carried in “one major newspaper and some news channels” were “completely misleading, false and aimed at tarnishing my reputation”.

He pointed out that contrary to the claim made in these reports that on December 20 he had attended a meeting of a handful of JD(U) MLAs at a Bihar minister’s residence, “I was in Delhi, to attend the meeting of INDIA bloc, along with the honourable CM. I even attended a meeting of party MPs at his Delhi residence later in the evening,” according to PTI.

Lalan claimed that the reports were an attempt to damage his reputation and raise a question mark on their relationship which has grown over the last 37 years.

“The fact is, I had tendered my resignation only because of my engagements in my own Lok Sabha constituency,” claimed the Munger MP.

“The JD(U) stands rock solid under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and all our detractors will bite dust,” he asserted.

He added that upon return from Delhi, where the JD(U) held meetings of its national executive and national council on Friday, “I will send legal notices to all such media outlets and file defamation suits against these,” reported PTI.
