Lalan Singh rejects RCP Singh's return to JD-U
There's been talk about RCP Singh, a former leader of the Janata Dal (United) party, coming back.
But Lalan Singh, another important leader in the party, said no.
He thinks RCP Singh is responsible for the party losing many seats in the 2020 elections.
Lalan Singh said there's no room in the party for someone who caused the party to do poorly.
This comes after RCP Singh went to an event for the Patel (Kurmi) community, which made people think he might return to the party.
Lalan Singh rejected the idea of RCP Singh returning to JD-U.
He believes RCP Singh was responsible for the party's reduced tally in the 2020 Assembly polls.

Speculation arose after RCP Singh attended a Patel (Kurmi) community event.
RCP Singh was the party's national general secretary (organisation) during the 2020 elections.
