Nitish Kumar Eyes Rajput Votes As Ex MP Set To Be Released From Jail?

Bihar's gangster-turned-politician Anand Mohan Singh, whose imminent release from jail has sparked a huge row in Bihar, has made it clear that he is ready to jump back into the arena of active politics. Out on parole for his MLA son Chetan Anand's wedding, Mr Singh spoke to the media amid the heated exchange between the ruling JD(U) and the opposition BJP. Anand Mohan, a former RJD MP facing numerous cases, was found guilty of abetting the murder of district magistrate G Krishnaiah in 1994. His release comes after the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government tweaked the prison rules, allowing remission of jail term for those convicted of murdering a public servant on duty.
