Former JD(U) MP Monazir Hassan today returned to the party four years after he left it, while the daughter of a senior RJD leader also joined the party.
Hassan had quit the party after being denied a ticket to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and his Begusarai seat had been given to the CPI with which the JD(U) had an electoral pact.
He had then joined the BJP but was expelled from it two years later on disciplinary grounds.
Hassan was reinducted into the JD(U) at the residence of the party's state unit president Bashishtha Narayan Singh.
Welcoming Hassan back, Singh said, "We have known him and his work. We are sure his return would strengthen the party."
