“He always runs after ministerial positions,” he said accusing the MPRF-D chairman of being bent on fulfilling his own personal ambition. MPRF-D Secretary Ravindra Thakur however rebuffed Shah´s accusation.
"Sanjay Shah is a notorious gangster of Janakpur and his tainted image could harm our party, so, we decided to sack him,” he said. He further said that Shah is joining the Rajendra Mahato-led Sadbhavana Party (SP) as its vice-chairman.
“Earlier as well, we had thrown him out of the party as he violated the party´s code of conducts,” said Thakur. “His quitting would not affect our party,” he said. General Secretary of SP, Manish Kumar Suman has said that his party is ready to welcome him to his party.
“We will offer him a responsible position in the party in accordance with his status,” Suman said.
He said that Shah is a Janakpur-based famous leader. “He has wide public relations and political network in the Madhes and his arrival could benefit us," he said. However, Shah said that he was yet to finalize which party to join. Sources have said that he is all set to join SP in a top position.
