Rahul Raj Defends Meeting with Chief Minister Amid Allegations of Joining BJP

On Thursday (November 05, 2026), ABP News spoke to Rahul Raj, a BJP rebel who won the Saran teachers seat as an independent in the MLC elections. There is a stir in the political corridor about Rahul Raj allegedly joining the BJP. Opposition leaders have complained to the Legislative Council Executive Chairman to cancel his membership. Now Rahul Raj has said a lot. Dr. Rahul Raj said, "What is the crime of meeting the Chief Minister? You also know the promises with which I went to the polls. All my gurus also know that it cannot be done without getting the government's consent." Thanking the Chief Minister, Rahul Raj said that he gave 20 minutes of time. We put the demands one by one in front of him. He assured that he will work to fulfill all the demands. In the conversation, he also said that can people from any party, CPI, RJD, can't meet the Chief Minister, can't any independent member join the BJP?
