Arjun Rai said that RJD was never his party of choice. He remained associated with the shared vision of Lalu, Nitish, and Sharad, but he didn't like the party under Tejashwi's leadership.

Former Sitamarhi MP Dr. Arjun Rai has issued a statement regarding his political decision after joining the BJP. He said that RJD was never his preferred party. At that time, big leaders like Lalu Prasad Yadav, Nitish Kumar, and Sharad Yadav were active in the politics of RJD and JDU. According to Rai, these leaders had a common vision, which is why they remained associated with RJD. Tejashwi-led RJD was not liked by Arjun.
