RJD Seriously Trying To Woo Kushwahas?

Kushwaha, till recently, supported JD(U) in all political events, and Nitish Kumar banked on them for his supremacy in the elections, a source says. The support during the just concluded parliamentary elections also helped BJP and JD(U) to have an edge in terms of seats source says. Approximately, as per calculations, 4% of Kushwaha are in Bihar, and their support is very crucial for political parties, the source says. Now, RJD understands the importance and wants to take descendants of Kush with them, and perhaps keeping this in view, Abhay Kumar Kushwaha of Aurangabad, the chief of the parliamentary board source, announced. The Aurangabad MP is a very active and well-known figure in the area source says. CPI (ML) candidate Raja Ram Singh also registered victory from Karakat source says. Despite the support of NDA, influential leader Upendra Kushwaha lost the election to Karakat source says. JD(U) has nominated Supaul MP Dileshwar Kamat to lead the parliamentary party and Sanjay Jha to lead the party in Rajya Sabha, a source says. Kamat is elected for the second time from Supaul and is from Maha Dalit community source says. The appointment of Dileshwar is probably to woo Maha Dalits of the area and Bihar source says.
