Saurabh Dwivedi interviewed Sanjay Kumar Jha, the National Working President of JD(U), discuss a range of pressing and controversial issues within Bihar politics and the Janata Dal (United) party.
Saurabh probes Jha on the allegations by the party’s backward and Dalit leaders that a so-called “Savarna lobby” — comprising Lalan Singh, Sanjay Jha, and Vijay Kumar Chaudhary has hijacked JD(U) and sidelined grassroots leaders.
The conversation also touches on internal party dynamics, including who actually distributes tickets in JD(U), and whether decisions are truly democratic or controlled by a select few.
Questions around Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s health are addressed directly, with Sanjay Jha providing insight into the current state of the party’s tallest leader.
Saurabh also grills Jha about the controversy surrounding the empanelment of his daughter as a lawyer in the Supreme Court, a move that has drawn criticism and accusations of favoritism.
Jha shares his political journey from BJP to JD(U), and reflects on the ideological shift and the motivations behind his switch.
Finally, the interview revisits an important moment in JD(U)’s history why the late George Fernandes was reportedly reluctant to declare Nitish Kumar as the Chief Ministerial face during the early years of party-building.
