The DM who got Advani arrested to join BJP |
Patna,(BiharTimes): Former Union Home Secretary, Raj Kumar Singh, who as the district magistrate of Samastipur was instrumental in the arrest of Lal Krishna Advani, will on Friday afternoon join the Bharatiya Janata Party, whose prime ministerial candidate now is Narendra Modi. Advani was arrested on October 23, 1990, when he was leading a Somnath to Ayodhya Rath Yatra, on the order of the then chief minister, Lalu Prasad Yadav. He will be joining the saffron party on the day Parliament was attacked in 2001. Recently, Nitish Kumar has appointed him as the Advisor on Infrastructure to the Chief Minister with cabinet rank after his retirement as home secretary.
