He is now the spokesman of the party.Apart from the three MLCs the lone JMM MLA in Bihar, Sunit Kumar Singh, who joined JD (U) last week, was present on the occasion. He is the son of agriculture minister Narendra Singh.

Narendra, a JD(U) strongman from Jamui district, had never been in best of terms with Faguni, though he belonged to the alliance party, the BJP. In fact the latter was once pushed down from the dais by the minister’s supporters and got fractured his leg.
Narendra’s another son Ajay Pratap Singh is also a JD (U) MLA from Jamui while Abhay, was killed in his ministerial quarter in a shootout in February 2010. He even killed his wife before too.
