Former Union Minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh, whose recent resignation from the RJD founded and headed by Lalu Prasad left the political waters in Bihar, passed away on Sunday, the day after he fell seriously ill and was put on a respirator.

A loyalist loyalist to the supreme RJD whom he supported through thick and thin, Singh came into conflict with the party a few months ago when rumors about the Mafia don turned politician Rama Singh, his rival in the Vaishali Lok Sabha constituency , led him to resign from office. of the national vice president.
A cabinet colleague of Prasad in the Manmohan Singh government, Singh thus blocked Rama Singh’s entry into the party and, although he did not resign from the main membership at the time, he stayed away from the day-to-day affairs of the RJD that claimed , in part, to his poor health. On Thursday, his handwritten note addressed to Prasad declaring that he has had enough went viral on social media.
That same day, the supreme of RJD sent a letter to Singh de Ranchi, making an emotional appeal to his partner for more than three decades not to leave the party. On Friday, Singh wrote another letter from the hospital, this time addressed to Nitish Kumar, which was seen as his attempt to get closer to the prime minister, who heads the JD (U) and has been a fierce rival to the supreme RJD for decades. .

His relations with Tejashwi Yadav, Lalu Prasad’s youngest son and heir apparent, turned sour when he began pitching for Nitish Kumar back to the RJD-led Grand Alliance after the party received its worst beating in polls from Lok Sabha. last year.
