The political temperature in Bihar has risen due to the statement of former MP and once powerful leader Anand Mohan. His wife Lovely Anand is an MP from JDU, son Chetan Anand is also an MLA from JDU, but Anand Mohan’s anti-party tone has created a political stir. The question is what is the meaning of Anand Mohan’s statements? Does he want to become the leader of Rajputs? Understand the news.

First understand what Anand Mohan said

Anand Mohan has said that Nitish Kumar has been buried alive. His picture is not in the program. He called JDU a party of bags. It was also said that the ministerial post has been sold for crores. If it was to be made then Nishant would have been made the Chief Minister. Today Nishant is being trolled that he is really not worthy of being the Health Minister.

‘There is no point in becoming a leader of Rajput’

Anand Mohan comes from Rajput caste. His statements have raised questions whether Anand Mohan wants to become the leader of Rajputs or is there a desire to get his son a place in the cabinet? Senior JDU leader and MLC Sanjay Singh, who comes from Rajput caste, told ABP News on this that there is no point in becoming a leader of Rajput. Leader makes the society and Rajput society knows Anand Mohan very well. He is making statements out of love for his son.

Sanjay Singh says that his son has not been made a minister because Leshi Singh, who has been winning elections continuously from Dhamdaha and this time (in the 2025 elections) has also won the elections by 50 thousand votes. JDU has made him a minister from Rajput. His son Chetan Anand, who contested from Nabinagar, also known as Chittorgarh, won by only 112 votes. Still he is talking about himself that Singh is king and Tiger is still alive. He is insulting Nitish Kumar.

Sanjay Singh said that on the death anniversary of Maharana Pratap, we had organized a big rally in the grounds of Miller High School. After that Nitish Kumar took steps for his release. He was released. He has forgotten all this and is making statements against the party out of attachment to his son.

What do political experts say?

On this issue, senior journalist and political expert Santosh Kumar said that it cannot be denied that Anand Mohan is a leader of Rajput caste. Even today he maintains the identity of a leader in Rajput society. When he formed his “Bihar People’s Party”, the entire Rajput community of Bihar supported him. It is a different matter that Anand Mohan has always been doing politics of blackmail.

‘An attempt to make son a Rajput leader’

Santosh Kumar said that whatever happened in the year 1995, 2000 or 2005 and whatever party he was with, be it JDU or RJD, he did blackmail politics against everyone. Even when Chetan Anand won the elections from RJD, he was included in JDU by doing blackmail politics. They are making statements regarding the fact that his son has not been made a minister yet. This is also a kind of blackmail politics. With such statements, he has now started trying to make his son the leader of Rajput.

What is the status of Rajputs in Bihar?

Anand Mohan comes from Rajput caste and the population of Rajputs in Bihar is 3.45% of the total population. According to the caste-based census released by the Bihar government, the total population of Rajput caste in the state is 45,10,733 (about 45.1 lakh). The number is not much but the dominance of Rajputs was visible in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. 33 MLAs from party and opposition have won from Rajput caste.

There are four ministers from Rajput caste in the new NDA government. There are two ministers from BJP, Sanjay Tiger and Shreyashi Singh, while Leshi from JDU and Sanjay Singh from Chirag’s party have been made ministers. There was a discussion that Anand Mohan’s son Chetan Anand could be made a minister from Nishant’s team but it did not happen.

Anand Mohan’s statement has created an upheaval in the politics of Bihar. RJD, the main opposition party in Bihar, has claimed that there is nothing right between BJP and JDU. On Monday (May 18, 2026), RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari made the claim and also made a prediction.

On this question, Anand Mohan has said that some people in JDU are making ministers by taking money, or only those who are paying are being promoted. On this, Mrityunjay Tiwari said that now only JDU leaders are revealing all the secrets. Just one person has come, there is still a long list. Right now one by one people are going to rebel. JDU is on the verge of extinction. JDU will be divided into pieces.

Mrityunjay Tiwari said that there is nothing right inside BJP-JDU. Tejashwi Yadav has predicted that this government is not going to last long. Let’s see what happens next.

Preparation to merge with BJP: RJD

On the statement of Union Minister and senior JDU leader Lalan Singh that Samrat Choudhary is the successor of Nitish Kumar, RJD leader Mrityunjay Tiwari said, “We are continuously saying that JDU has merged with BJP… Some people who are in JDU, BJP resides in their soul. Who is whose successor and who is not, but there are preparations to merge with BJP…”

Rained even on Prime Minister’s appeal

On the other hand, on PM Modi’s appeal, Mrityunjay Tiwari said, “The entire opposition… the people of the country are seeing how the Prime Minister appeals to save fuel, save petrol and diesel, do not buy gold, do not travel abroad, he himself is traveling abroad, there is a difference between words and actions… The Prime Minister was saying good days, your good days have come to travel abroad… But the people of the country cannot go abroad, cannot buy gold, cannot travel on vehicles, these are their good days…”

On this question, RJD is being accused by JDU that Nishant Kumar is being targeted. On this he said that even yesterday Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav said that we will not say anything on the Health Minister. Tejashwi Yadav has not given any reaction regarding Nishant. The public is watching everything. The public will now assess whether whatever Tejashwi Yadav said proved to be true.

On a question he said that encounter is not the solution to the problem. You want to bring Yogi model but how much has the morale of criminals increased? The prestige of government and administration is not visible anywhere in the uniform.
