Bhojpuri Star Ritesh Pandey's Political Exit

Bhojpuri actor Ritesh Pandey has quit the Jan Suraaj Party after an unsuccessful electoral attempt from Kargahar. He expressed his inability to continue balancing his career with politics. The party faces further challenges, with senior leader RCP Singh fueling speculations about a possible association with Bihar CM Nitish Kumar.

Bhojpuri star Ritesh Pandey announced his resignation from the Jan Suraaj Party, just two months post his electoral debut, which ended in defeat. Pandey informed through social media that maintaining his acting career alongside political commitments proved unsustainable.

Pandey contested the Bihar assembly polls from Kargahar, coming fourth and losing his deposit. Despite the setback, he remains undeterred by the lack of immediate political success. His exit represents another challenge for the Jan Suraaj Party amid internal dynamics.

Party veteran RCP Singh hinted at a potential alliance with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar during a recent event, adding to the party's tumultuous state. Singh's previous associations with JD(U) and the BJP add layers to the unfolding political scenario.
