PATNA: A day after BJP leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain was elected unopposed to the Bihar Legislative council, JD-U also managed to get a Muslim face in the party.
Chainpur MLA Jama Khan joined JD-U as an Independent legislator pledging full support to his government.
Political analysts say that MLA Khan joining the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) is a well calculated move, almost parallel to BJP getting Shahnawaz Hussain. But Shahnawaz Hussain s political stature is far better than that of Khan s but both are influential to represent the minority community, said a BJP leader who chose not to be named.
