JDU leader KC Tyagi and his son Ambrish Tyagi joined Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) on Sunday (22 March). RLD President and Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary got the membership of the party to both the leaders. After joining RLD, K.C. Tyagi responded by saying that there is no difference between RLD and JDU. Both take inspiration from leaders like Chaudhary Charan Singh, Ram Manohar Lohia and Karpoori Thakur. We want to strengthen the questions that Chaudhary Charan Singh had left so that farmers become happy and India becomes strong.

I did not come to RLD to become MP, MLA – KC Tyagi

On the question asked regarding UP Assembly elections 2027, he said that our aim is to make Lok Dal so strong that the NDA government is formed again in Uttar Pradesh. I have been an MLA and MP before. He said, “Now I have come to RLD not to become MP, MLA, but to see Jayant Chaudhary like Chaudhary Charan Singh.” Chaudhary Charan Singh had given me a ticket to contest elections from Hapur at a very young age. He also gave me money and I hope that the day comes when Jayant Chaudhary becomes the PM again.

What did Jayant Chaudhary say?

RLD President and Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary said, “KC Tyagi ji has expressed only one wish that we have to become like Chaudhary Charan Singh.” We Ch.

Jayant Chaudhary gave membership of RLD to KC Tyagi

RLD President and Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary included KC Tyagi and his son Ambrish Tyagi in the party by giving them membership. The discussion about KC Tyagi joining RLD was going on for the last several days. On March 16, he issued a statement making it clear that he had not renewed his membership under JDU’s membership campaign.

KC Tyagi, a senior JDU leader, has distanced himself from the party. He himself gave this information by issuing a letter on Tuesday (March 17, 2026). Now his first reaction has come out. He has told why he is separating from JDU.

Speaking to PTI, KC Tyagi said, “We have been together for 50 years… This time when the party’s membership campaign was held, I did not renew my membership… but the relations are as they are.”

KC Tyagi, in response to a question, said that on March 22, I am going to meet with my colleagues and well-wishers at Mavalankar Hall in Delhi. Will make further announcement on the same day. KC Tyagi said, “The relationship has not deteriorated at all… Actually, Nitish Kumar, the last leader of the socialist movement, was left. Now he is coming to Delhi from Bihar politics. Then the number of old friends has reduced… I have less of that kind of positive and active role left there (JDU). Now I want to make myself active in UP also.”

Tyagi said, “We did politics together in Jai Prakash ji’s movement, then in Janata Party, Lok Dal and then under the leadership of Karpuri ji. I have not resigned, I have not taken part in the campaign for membership of the party…”

Have demanded Bharat Ratna for Nitish Kumar

Let us tell you that KC Tyagi had been in JDU for a long time. Just a few months ago, he had demanded to give Bharat Ratna to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The party’s national spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan had clearly said at that time that even the party leaders and workers do not know whether KC Tyagi is in JDU or not. Now in a way, KC Tyagi has taken a different path.

KC Tyagi gave a big statement on the political changes taking place in Bihar. Responding to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s ex-post, he said that the ‘Nitish era’ can never end. KC Tyagi said that Nitish Kumar has created a new Bihar. Just as Karpuri Thakur and Chaudhary Charan Singh are alive, similarly Nitish Kumar will also be remembered for ages.

KC Tyagi said, “Obviously the dignity of the House (Rajya Sabha) will increase. In 2001, due to his fame and his intellectual knowledge, he (Nitish Kumar) also received the Best Parliamentarian Award.”

Let us tell you that Nitish Kumar announced his visit to Rajya Sabha in his social media post on Thursday (5 March) and put an end to political speculations. After noon on the day of Holi, the political temperature in Bihar rose when it was discussed that CM Nitish Kumar was going to go to Rajya Sabha. After this there was a flood of statements. Nobody knows what is going to happen. JDU leaders also just said that the final decision will be taken by Nitish Kumar.

Who will be the CM in Bihar now?

Now the big question is who will be the CM of Bihar after Nitish Kumar goes to Rajya Sabha. If sources are to be believed, the CM’s chair may go to BJP. After the Bihar Assembly elections last year, Nitish Kumar took oath as Chief Minister for the 10th time on 27 November.

What responsibility will Nishant Kumar get?

There was also discussion that Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant Kumar could be sent to Rajya Sabha. Now that Nitish Kumar himself has decided to go to Rajya Sabha, everyone’s eyes are on Nishant. There is talk of Nishant Kumar getting a big responsibility in JDU. Nishant has not yet taken membership of JDU.

Hindustani Awam Morcha has also supported the demand of Janata Dal United leader KC Tyagi to give Bharat Ratna to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Morcha chief and Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi even expressed confidence that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will once again surprise everyone by deciding to award ‘Bharat Ratna’ to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi posted on social networking site We have full confidence that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has surprised everyone with his decision, will once again surprise everyone by deciding to award ‘Bharat Ratna’ to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

KC Tyagi wrote a letter to PM Modi

In fact, on Friday, senior Janata Dal (United) leader KC Tyagi wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding to give the country’s highest honor to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. KC Tyagi has said in a letter to Prime Minister Modi that Nitish Kumar, the remaining precious gem of the socialist movement, is worthy of ‘Bharat Ratna’. He should be awarded this honour.

KC Tyagi wrote in the letter, ’30 March 2024 is the day to honor our ancestors. Due to his efforts he was decorated with the highest honor of ‘Bharat Ratna’. Self. Chaudhary Charan Singh and Late. A meaningful effort was made by Karpoori Thakur to organize the public interest, farmers and marginalized people and give them respect.

The letter further reads, ‘I am overwhelmed by these efforts of yours and request that Nitish Kumar, the remaining precious gem of the socialist movement, is also worthy of this honour. In the past too, many heroes have received this honor while still alive. On behalf of crores of people, I hope and request you that dear leader Nitish Kumar should be honored with this honor so that history will appreciate your efforts for a long time.

Let us tell you that this is not the first time that the demand for ‘Bharat Ratna’ has been raised for Nitish Kumar. Even before this, many party leaders have demanded ‘Bharat Ratna’ for Nitish Kumar.

The political turmoil in Janata Dal United (JDU) intensified when senior party leader KC Tyagi wrote a letter to the Prime Minister demanding to give Bharat Ratna to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. After this statement, JDU leadership clearly distanced itself from Tyagi and termed it as his personal statement.

On behalf of JDU, national spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan took a strong stand and said that KC Tyagi’s recent statements do not match the ideology and official stand of the party.

He even said that “It is not clear even to our workers whether KC Tyagi is with JDU or not.” The letter written regarding Bharat Ratna is completely a personal matter of Tyagi.

Internal resentment in JDU, indications for action

According to sources, there is dissatisfaction in the party regarding the statements of KC Tyagi for some time. It is being said that the leadership is considering disciplinary action against him. The party believes that Tyagi is continuously giving such statements, which are different from the line of JDU and NDA.

RJD’s counterattack- Bharat Ratna goes to Lalu Yadav

Rashtriya Janata Dal spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari has given a sharp reaction on this entire controversy. He said that JDU has divided into two and some people within the party do not want Nitish Kumar to get Bharat Ratna. Tiwari claimed that if anyone should get Bharat Ratna, it is RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav.

Even before, Tyagi has been speaking out of line with NDA.

Even before this, KC Tyagi has been seen to have different opinions from NDA on many issues. When Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman was thrown out of IPL, he had said that sports should be kept away from politics. Apart from this, his statements on issues like Uniform Civil Code, lateral entry in government jobs and Israel-Palestine conflict have also been different from the party line.

Now the question is whether JDU leadership takes any concrete action against KC Tyagi or not. For now, the party has distanced itself from his statement and given a clear message that those who speak out of line with the organization will not be spared.

The phase of allegations and counter-allegations is at its peak in the election state Bihar. Leaders of both NDA and Grand Alliance are leaving no opportunity to attack each other. Bihar CM Nitish Kumar is at the center of the attacks by the Grand Alliance and especially by Tejashwi Yadav. RJD and Tejashwi Yadav raised questions about the health of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on many occasions. These questions and attacks have been countered by senior JDU leader KC Tyagi.

KC Tyagi said that Tejashwi Yadav is making such allegations. Don’t trust them. When he was Deputy CM, nothing was said about Nitish Kumar’s health. KC Tyagi said that Tejashwi Yadav was the Deputy CM of Bihar from August 2022 to January 2024. During this time he did not say anything about the health of the CM.

Nitish Kumar’s health is much better than Lalu Yadav – KC Tyagi

Speaking to The Indian Express, a senior JDU leader said, “In fact, Nitish Kumar’s health is much better than Lalu Prasad Yadav.” He said, “What I have understood from my personal conversation with Nitish Kumar is that he is completely mentally alert right now.”

‘Nitish Kumar does not need anyone’s support to walk’

Along with this, the JDU leader said, “He does not need anyone’s support to walk. He is our star campaigner in this election. Nitish Kumar is still the most reliable leader of Bihar.”

It is noteworthy that 74 year old Nitish Kumar is contesting the NDA Bihar elections. The opposition claims that Nitish Kumar will not become the CM of Bihar after NDA wins the elections. However, Chirag Paswan, who is part of NDA, has definitely said that after the elections, NDA MLAs will choose Nitish Kumar as their leader and he will be the CM.

In Maharashtra, once again the upsurge is being claimed. Janata Dal (United) veteran leader KC Tyagi has claimed that something big is going to happen in the politics of Maharashtra. NCP-SP and Shiv Sena-UBT, they are constantly in touch with BJP.

Actually, KC Tyagi has made important comments on recent political developments. On the one hand, KC Tyagi defended Akhilesh Yadav on the Samajwadi Party MPs going to the mosque, while on the other hand he claimed to have a big upset in the politics of Maharashtra.

What did Sharad Pawar-Akhilesh Yadav say?

JDU leader KC Tyagi reacted to the statements of Sharad Pawar, Akhilesh Yadav and Mamata Banerjee in a conversation with news agency IANS. Also, he spoke in the midst of politics on SIR in Bihar.

Please tell that Akhilesh Yadav was seen with Samajwadi Party MPs in the mosque near Parliament House in Delhi. BJP has raised questions on this. However, KC Tyagi’s statement has completely reversed. He said that this is not wrong.

A statement on Akhilesh Yadav’s mosque to go to the mosque

He said, “Samajwadi Party MP from Rampur, Mohibullah Nadvi is the Imam of this mosque. SP MPs went to drink tea at him.” Earlier, the BJP had questioned Akhilesh Yadav and said that the mosque is not a place of meeting.

‘SIR’s ongoing assessment’

On the issue of SIR in Bihar, KC Tyagi said, “SIR is under assessment. 97 percent of the people have registered their names. One month’s time will be given to political parties, so that their names can be included properly.”

1. Casey Tyagi’s claim created a stir
2. Sharad Pawar praised CM Devendra Fadnavis
3. After this, KC Tyagi claimed that something big is going to happen in Maharashtra.
4. He also claimed that Sharad Pawar faction and Uddhav Thackeray faction are in touch with BJP
5. His claim is also being discussed because even though recently laughing in laughter, CM Fadnavis offered Uddhav Thackeray to come together.
