Speaking on the occasion, the Union minister said Alok has made a great contribution to developing a thought process. ”He (Alok) is a professional and the party is open to working with those who believe in putting the nation first, who want to work for the poor and consider development as a pilgrimage,” he added.
Alok was among the four JD (U) leaders who were suspended for alleged anti-party activities in June last year. The leaders had chosen to support senior party leader and former Union minister R C P Singh who was denied a re-nomination to the Rajya Sabha by the JD(U).
