“People have already made up their minds that in the country it will be Modi Govt and the MP from here (Arrah) will be from BJP… No one wants the INDI Alliance to form a government,” Singh told ANI.
In the final phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha election, Bihar’s eight Lok Sabha constituencies went to the polls on Saturday.
In the Arrah Lok Sabha constituency, one of the 40 parliamentary constituencies in the state, Singh’s main contender is Sudama Prasad, a sitting MLA of CPI(ML) Liberation.
RK Singh is seeking his third term from Arrah.
