Bhojpuri singer Ritesh Pandey, ex-IPS officer JP Singh join Jan Suraaj Party in Patna

Patna, Jul 18 (PTI) Bhojpuri singer Ritesh Pandey and former IPS officer Jaiprakash Singh on Friday joined the Jan Suraaj Party here in the presence of its founder Prashant Kishor.

Welcoming them into the party, Kishor said, "We deliberately chose a day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Bihar and will try to ensnare the people with his big talk".

Speaking on the occasion, Singh, a resident of Saran district, who had risen to the ADGP rank in Himachal Pradesh cadre, said he took VRS after 25 years of service "because I realised that the Jan Suraaj was out to create history in my home state".

Pandey broke into an impromptu Hindi song that underscored the Jan Suraaj Party's aspiration of ensuring "all get rozi roti (employment opportunity) on the state's soil". PTI NAC BDC
