Suspended Janata Dal (United) MLA Sarfaraz Alam on Saturday, 10 February, resigned from the party and also from the assembly to join RJD, giving a clear indication of contesting bypoll from Araria Lok Sabha seat represented by his late father.
Alam joined Lalu Prasad's party in presence of senior RJD leaders including its national vice-president Shivanand Tiwary at RJD's office here.
He accused Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's party JD(U) of "betraying secular forces" by joining hands with the BJP.
