In the last election, I was one of the MPs who won with the highest number of votes in Bihar, but this time the party gave the ticket to someone who had come from another party and whom I had defeated by more than 4 lakh votes in the last election..
Then I left the party, he said.. While Nishad won the Muzaffarpur polls in 2014 and 2019 on a BJP ticket, his father Jai Narain Prasad Nishad had been the MP from the seat four times.. (Edited by Nida Fatima Siddiqui)..
