Singh was earlier given a ticket by the BJP from West Bengal's Asansol parliamentary constituency.

Once a blue-eyed boy of the Bihar chief minister, he is so “harsh and blunt” about him at a public meeting in Nalanda that it’s difficult to imagine that not too long ago he was his mentor.
Recalling his recent entry in JDU, Lallan Singh categorically said: “Nobody was interested in joining him again in the party because of his habit of changing sides.”
In the press meet, Khushwaha announced that his newly-floated party called Rashtria Lok Janata Dal (RLJD). He has been unanimously nominated as the national president of the new party.
Addressing a press conference at his residence in Bihar's Patna, Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader said, "Even if Nitish Kumar asks me to leave JD-U, I won't.
The supporters of RCP Singh have boycotted Upendra Kushwaha. They believe that RCP Singh was responsible for strengthening the party's organisational structure after the second tenure of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
While the RJD has declared it will go to polls under the leadership of Tejashwi Yadav, his other two allies, Jitan Ram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha too nurse high political ambitions and have rejected the candidature of the former, thus making the battle interesting well ahead of the polls.
Meanwhile, the part of ruling alliance Lok Jan Shakti Party (LJP) chief Chirag Paswan too held a meeting with the state working committee members via video conferencing in the run-up to the elections, to look into the preparations of the party.
Darbhanga, Begusarai, Ujiyarpur, Munger & Samastipur are held by the NDA, first three by BJP and the last two by LJP
A disastrous or poor performance in the elections will, thus, obviously ruin their career and deny them the bargaining capacity in the Bihar Assembly elections scheduled next year.
