New Delhi: Sabir Ali,
the only Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) Rajya Sabha member other than
party chief Ram Vilas Paswan, Tuesday resigned from the party and
announced his decision to join Bihar's ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U).
"I feel suffocated. Mismanagement, lack of foresightedness and
regimentation due to personal ambitions of those at the helms of
powers have plagued the party," Ali said in a statement.
Ali, who has two more years of his tenure in the upper house,
said: "I have decided to join the JD-U in the interest of the
state. I am sure that Bihar will bounce back to regain its lost
glory under the stewardship of Nitish Kumar (chief minister)."
"The LJP has lost its relevance in the current political scenario
in Bihar," Ali added.
With the resignation of Ali, party chief Paswan will be the only
LJP member in parliament. The party has no representation in the
Lok Sabha.
